This district is located in north central Montana east of Great Falls and west of the Missouri River Breaks. The area is comprised of mainly private land with limited public access opportunities. The vast majority of this district is moderately flat farm and cattle country, with rough breaks type country on the north and east borders. Elk sightings are extremely rare in this district, but some elk are taken by mule deer hunters with a general elk tag in their pocket. Mule deer hunting in the eastern and northern portions of the district are some of the best the state has to offer on a general tag.

This district lies just west of the famed Missouri River Breaks districts which are widely known for producing trophy quality elk and mule deer. The northern and eastern portions of this district are the same habitat as the “Breaks” districts and have trophy quality bucks. The best hunting is on private land, or on public land accessed through private so planning ahead and securing access is key to success.

Portions of this district are made up of rough broken country at moderately low elevations. The vast majority of the area is fairly flat farmland and cattle pastures. The terrain features largely lend themselves to spot and stalk style hunting due to the ability to glass a ton of country from a single vantage.

Public access is poor in this district. The large majority of landowners restrict access to friends, family and local hunters. Although public land is not widely accessible or abundant, the lands that are accessible are generally good mule deer hunting.

Most of this district is typical prairie habitat. Large portions of the vegetation found in this district are influenced by farming. Wheat, alfalfa and cornfields cover huge areas of this district. Natural prairie grasses, and riparian type cover represent the remaining portions of the area with sagebrush, spruce trees and scattered pines dotting the landscape. Cottonwood forested river bottoms are present in the creeks and riverbeds of the area.

Day hunting is the primary method for hunters in this district so backcountry style camps are not common. For those interested in hunting this area there are small towns and recreation areas in the district that offer public camping and RV sites. Great Falls is nearby for more modern conveniences.
