This hunting district, found in south central Montana along the Wyoming border, is home of the Pryor Mountain Range and is 1 of only 3 quota bear units in Montana. Once the bear quota is met, the unit will close within 48 hours. Bears are found in small populations here and can be difficult to locate. Hunters may choose to hunt this area for bears simply because of locality, but anyone looking specifically to target bears is encouraged to look into different areas.

Bears are found in very low numbers here and hunting will be much more difficult than other districts.

With the exception of the Pryor Mountains, this area is mostly comprised of your typical eastern Montana prairie land. Here, there are vast expanses of prairie grass and sage, broken with deep trench-like drainages full of exposed rock. Juniper patches will be found interspersed throughout the drainages. These open areas can be very easy to traverse and hunters will find little to no trouble covering miles every day. The foothills surrounding the Pryors will show an exaggeration of the terrain as the deep cut drainages grow wider and deeper, and finger ridges take shape. Rock will become much more apparent here, along with more frequent patches of juniper trees. From here, the tree cover will increase immensely as the elevation continues to climb into large cliff bands that eventually top out in large open plateaus. From these plateaus, hunters will find great glassing opportunities and incredible views.

Most of the low lying country will consist of vast expanses of native grasses, sagebrush, small cactus, and patches of juniper trees. This same coverage will be found throughout the majority of the unit with the exception of the Pryor Range. Here, the juniper trees will be replaced by large mature stands of pine and fir trees along most of the north facing slopes. The tree cover will eventually diminish in the higher elevations along the great plateaus of Big Pryor Mountain and East Pryor Mountain. These high elevation plateau areas will be largely comprised of grasses, sage, rock, and very light patches of juniper.

Overall, this area has a large amount of publicly accessible land and hunters will find little trouble accessing these areas due to farm and forest service roads. Covering ground in the lower elevations will be easy for most hunters. The higher elevation areas found in the Pryors will offer hunters a greater variance in elevation, with as much as two thousand feet between drainage bottoms and the highest ridgelines. Still, the few roads that meander through this small mountain range make even the most remote areas fairly accessible to anyone willing to hike.

There are not any modern lodging options found within the district, but a few smaller options can be found in Bridger, which lies just north of the northwest corner on the unit. There are a few campsites along the Bighorn River that can be used and primitive camping is allowed on any public land for up to 14 days. Because of the remote nature of the unit, grocery and gears needs will need to be fulfilled prior to leaving for the hunt.
