This smaller hunt district stretches from Ovando down to Helmville. Its western border is the Ovando–Helmville cut across road.

The district is known as a small wintering ground for elk and fawning ground for whitetail deer.

This hunt district is small. The northern half is made up of large flat land with sparse brushy creek bottoms and a few agricultural fields. The southern half has miles of thick river bottom, with agriculture surrounding it from all sides.

It can be difficult, but knocking on a few doors can go a long way. You may not be able to harvest the trophy buck or bull but filling the freezer is definitely an option.

Cottonwood forests and pockets of red under brush can be found scattered all along the river bottom. There are a few foothills with in the unit and are made up of big rolling sagebrush and CRP covered hills.

Missoula, Stevensville and Hamilton all have several great places for lodging. All three of these locations have sporting good stores, groceries, gas and other amenities. Camping is allowed on all national forest ground for up to 14 days in one location.
