This unit is located in northwest Montana and shares its boundaries with the Idaho and Candian borders. This area is very rugged and densely timbered. Most of the glassing opportunities will be found in some of the small natural openings as well as timber cuts. With the dense cover, moose can be hard to locate at times and patience will definitely be necessary.

A realistic goal would be finding a bull with a spread nearing 40 inches and an average harvest age of 5.5-7.5 years old. The district is very heavily forested and can cause some frustration for hunters not used to hunting in this vegetation type.

This district has a high road density, of which there are numerous roads open to driving along with many gated roads for hiking. Harvested timber areas, and burn scars will provide some of the larger opening in the district. The area almost seems coastal with heavily timbered forests and immense ground cover, providing limited glassing opportunities.

In the higher elevations there will be some subalpine meadows, and high altitude lakes. Mid elevations to the valleys, there is dense forest cover from both trees and brush. Many streams do exist and generally large alder patches surround these water sources. The forest is a very dense combination of mixed conifers of Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, western larch, lodgepole pine, mountain maple and many different species of brush.

There are lots of well maintained logging roads throughout the district. There are some Forest Service trails, but many gated logging roads providing access to some of the more remote areas. Later in the season, snow can inhibit travel.

If hunting the southern half of the district, Libby would be your best option for lodging. Libby is a small town that is used to accommodating hunters and provides a grocery store, hotels, gas stations and several restaurants. If hunting the north end of the district camping may be your best option, this would reduce travel time. There are many dispersed campsites within the district that are available for use.
