Quick Tips
- Listening or calling into remote canyons can be a great way to locate packs
- Locating packs can be easier during periods of heavy snow
On The Ground
This smaller hunting district is found directly west of Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana. This area provides incredible scenery and gives hunters the chance to hunt some truly amazing terrain. This area is largely remote and because of it’s difficult access options most wolves harvested here will come from deer and elk hunters who happen to bump into a pack.
A good population of wolves can be found in this area but the remoteness of this area will only cater to a small selection of hunters. Hunters specifically looking to target wolves would be better off looking into surrounding districts.
Terrain
For the most part, the terrain found in this district will be steep to very steep. Found in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and just outside of Glacier National Park, this area sports some incredibly rugged country that is sure to push anyone to their limits. Most of the area is heavily vegetated with heavy stands of timber and, at times, impassible ground cover. In the highest elevations, the thick tree cover will give way to alpine basins and rocky ridges, although ground cover can still remain incredibly dense in these locations.
Roughly 500 square miles
94% public land
Elevations range from 3,000 - 7,800 feet
Vegetation
An enormous array of vegetation will be encountered in this area, thanks to the heavy amount of precipitation this part of the state typically receives. On any of the forested slopes that cover the area, hunters will find themselves in mature stands of red fir, white fir, white pine, lodgepole, tamarack, and even some cedar in the darker draws. As the elevation continues to climb, stunted stands of subalpine fir will become ever apparent. Found particularly heavy on northern slopes, impassible stands of mountain maple and alder can bring cross country travel speeds to a halt.
Access
In the sense of publicly accessible lands this area is a goldmine! For the most part, if you can see it you can hunt it. That being said, simply entering the hunting area can be a chore and most hunters looking to only target wolves will find easier hunting conditions in surrounding districts.
Camping and Lodging
Modern lodging options can be found outside of the hunting area in Eureka, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls. Some hunters may opt for primitive camping which is permitted on public lands for up to 14 days in a single spot. Groceries and other amenities can also be found in Eureka, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls. Sporting goods can be found in most towns within the unit, but some specialized needs may need to be met prior to your hunt.
