This district, which was newly formed in 2016, can be found in Central Montana just south of the town of White Sulphur Springs. A push for Montana’s new Shoulder Season was the driving force behind the creation of this new unit in an effort to control elk populations in the area. The district is almost entirely made up of private lands with some checkerboarded parcels of public being scattered throughout the area. Some great hunting can be found here but access will be one of the biggest hurdles for anyone.
Because this particular unit is so new there has not been much buzz going around. Still, in years past the area has produced some good hunting but nothing too special in the way of trophy potentials.
Quick Tips
- Gaining permission to hunt private lands will greatly increase the odds of success
- Land ownership maps and software can be extremely helpful
- Expect competition in most of the publicly accessible areas
