This hunting district is located in east-central Montana, just north of Miles City. The area features a mix of state, BLM, and private lands, making access challenging; however, many ranches participate in Montana’s Block Management program, allowing hunters entry to private properties. The average elk harvested is typically a raghorn. While competition can be intense, the large game populations mean that knowledgeable hunters should have little trouble filling their tags. Elk hunting for branch-antlered bulls is restricted to permit holders in the southwestern corner of the district, while spikes and cows are available on a general tag throughout the area.
