This small hunting district is located in south central Montana, along the Wyoming border. This area features some of the most rugged country in all of Montana and provides an incredible backdrop for the adventure of a lifetime. This unit is almost entirely backcountry and hunters will need to be prepared for this. Hunters should place physical conditioning as a high priority when choosing to hunt this district.

Great bear hunting can be found here but hunters need to be physically prepared.

This district has some of the most breathtaking and rugged country in Montana. This area houses extremely steep ridges that climb thousands of feet off the valley floors, abundant cliffs, and areas that are physically impassable. More reminiscent of sheep terrain, prospective bear hunters will have their work cut out for them. During early or warm springs, spring run-off from creeks can be dangerous and hunters will need to be prepared to cross these if needed.

This district has a large array of vegetation, particularly in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area. In the higher elevation areas, lodgepole, white pine, fir, and subalpine fir will become the dominant tree species. The highest elevations are comprised almost entirely of giant scree and boulder fields.

This area is almost entirely public land and open to those who wish to hunt it. The biggest hurdle ost hunters will need to overcome will include the simple fact that this country is largely roadless and massive. Physical effort in this unit will be extreme.

With this unit being so remote and roadless the only real losing options will consist of primitie or backpack camping. Hunters who elect to stay outside of the unit can do so in Sweet Grass or Livingston.
