On The Ground
Located in the central part of the state to the southwest of Lewistown. The district is comprised of a mix of private, state lands, the Judith River WMA and a small portion of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. The forest portion is covered in old logging roads through thick timber, offering lots of great access for the willing hiker.
This is a small district and continues to produce average mule deer, whitetail and bull elk. Elk and whitetail deer are abundant, but lack in trophy size.
