This district is found in north-central Montana, occupying a vast and remote area between Montana Highway 2 to the south and the Canada-US border to the north. Whitetail are present throughout the district, with higher concentrations near private agricultural fields and brushy creek beds. While most of the prime hunting habitat is on private land, access can be quite good for those friendly hunters who are willing to reach out and ask for permission.
