This hunting district is found in west-central Montana and just to the west of the city of Helena. Whitetail, mule deer, and elk can all be hunted here during both the archery and any weapons seasons. This are does see a fair bit of competition due its reciprocity with Helena but some good hunting can be had. Backpack hunters will find it tough to really escape pressure due to the routing of roads in the unit but focusing on some of steeper terrain can be worthwhile for day hunts. This area is comprised of approximately 50% private land but several landowners do participate in Montana’s BMA program.

Because this unit experiences a lot of pressure and experiences low success rates it will not pop up on the radar of many people. Still, hunter success numbers do not speak for every hunter and some good hunting can still be found with a little bit of research and boot leather.
