Located southeast of Great Falls this unit covers the Highwood Mountains. Similar to the famous Big and Little Belt Mountains this is a mountain range rising out of the plains east of the continental divide.

This hunting district produces good bulls. This is tough ground to hunt without packing in either on horses or with backpacks. Private land will be a challenge as trophy bulls will commonly be visible on these private grounds. This area is not known as a deer area, but mule deer and whitetail can be hunted here.

This unit varies from a low of around 3,000 feet to a high of nearly 7,700 feet on Highwood Baldy. The majority of the unit is mountainous and timbered, though rolling grass hills and parks are mixed in at all elevations. The valley floors have farm ground which is mostly private.

The higher elevations and northern slopes are timbered with pine and fir. Grasses dominate the parks and open hillsides. As the elevation drops lower down there are open grass hillsides, giving way to cottonwood and willow bottom lands.

Public access in this unit is decent. Numerous trails access much of the backcountry, but be advised the eastern side of the unit has numerous open ATV trails which can detract from a hunter looking for a roadless experience. The best hunting will require getting in a ways on one of the numerous hiking trails.

Lodging is available in Belt. Camping is allowed on National Forest ground up to 14 days in a row. Numerous campsites are available on National Forest lands.
