On The Ground
This district is located in north central Montana, north of Havre and Malta. The northern boundary is the Canadian line and this is a very large district. The antelope are found scattered throughout the district on a mix of private, public and state ground.
Antelope populations are down in this district as they were hit with a severe winter kill in 2010 and 2011. The herds are recovering but the population is still down from historic levels.
Terrain
This district is mostly flat grasslands with a lot of dry land farming mixed throughout the entire district. Generally this district is flat to slightly rolling. Stalking can be difficult, but it makes for excellent glassing opportunities. There are streams, coulees and drainages that cut through the district and can be used for stalking purposes. The far eastern portion of the district has more broken country.
