This hunting district is found in the northwest corner of the state between the towns of Libby and Kalispell. Dense forest cover will be encountered here, though the landscape is abundantly broken up due to past timber cuts which afford hunters with valuable glassing real estate. Walking some of the abundant logging roads can lead to success, but hunters may also opt to head into some of the giant, untouched canyons found within the hunting area.

A good population of wolves can be found in this area but the ruggedness and dense ground vegetation can make initially locating packs very difficult.

At first glance many hunters may develop a false sense of security with this hunting district. On any satellite imagery, the over abundance of logging roads and clearcuts can leave many feeling like this hunt will be a walk in the park. However, upon arriving in the area, hunters will be greeted with dark, nasty canyons that are impossibly steep and so thick with underbrush that bushwhacking is nearly impossible. Whether you plan to stick to logging roads or not, be prepared physically as this hunt can be surprisingly exhausting.

Vegetation encountered in this area will be of a wide array and generally in very thick patches. Lodgepole, White Pine, Tamarack, Spruce, and Ponderosa Pine will all be encountered in abundance, with subalpine fir being found in many of the high elevation areas. Throughout most of the elevations, hunters will commonly encounter nearly impassible patches of willow, mountain maple, huckleberry and alder.

Overall, this area has a lot of publicly accessible land, and thanks to the many logging roads, access is not a major concern. Hunters may find more difficulty in actually traversing the terrain than simply getting into an area. If you are looking at hunting areas away from roads, be sure to consult topo maps first to find closed roads and trails that may get you close and reduce the need to go bushwhacking.
