We have such high success on their Shiras moose hunts because we are always watching for moose even while they are hunting for other species. Consistently spotting moose throughout the area and as a result they know the best places to moose hunt each season.

Bull, Cow, or Combo Moose Hunts for multiple species are offered. You can choose to stay at the tent camp, the mountain lodge, or the local motel during your hunt. Moose tags are issued through a draw, and Idaho has the best moose drawing odds anywhere in the lower 48 states. Your chance of drawing a moose tag often ranges from 20% to 40%.

Location & Terrain

The hunt area is in F&G Units 73, 74, 75, 77, & 78, an area over 50 miles across. Elevations range from 5,000 to 9,000 feet. There are rugged mountains and canyons and there are also mountain basins and benches with easier terrain. Please advise Outfitter in advance if you have terrain preferences.

Trophy Quality

Most mature bull moose taken have had antlers from 38” to 45” wide and there are some old bulls in this area that are close to 50”. There’s not a high probability of getting a Boone & Crocket bull, but it’s not impossible either. If you're an archery hunter there's a good chance of getting a Pope & Young moose.

Hunting Season

Moose season is open Aug 30 to November 23 for any legal weapon. Deer and elk seasons are also open during much of the same time.

Best Time

Archery hunting is best during the rut in late September and early October when you can call moose in close. Rifle hunting is best in November after leaves have fallen and there’s snow for better visibility.

Hunting Methods

Depending on which weapon and time of the season you hunt, methods may include glassing open hillsides and basins, stalking, or sitting and watching water holes or feeding areas where moose have been spotted. 

Shot Opportunity

We can’t guarantee success, quantity, or the size of animals that are seen on wild hunts, but they will work hard to provide you the best hunt possible. Shot opportunity has been 100% nearly every year on the moose hunts. Most rifle shots have ranged from 50 to 200 yards, archery shots range from 10 to 60 yards.

Additional Game

Idaho has many great hunting opportunities. Deer, elk, and cougar tags are available over the counter with no draw needed. You can combine rifle or archery elk and deer hunting with your moose hunt. If you finish moose hunting early there are forest grouse and coyotes in the mountains and the local streams and reservoirs offer exciting trout fishing.

Licenses & Hunter Ed

Apply for Idaho Moose Tags in April. Some units have 100% draw rates. To hunt with us you will be applying in Southeast Idaho, draw rates have been as high as 30% for bulls and 100% for cows which is higher odds than in any other state for Shiras Moose.

After receiving your deposit you will be advised when and how to apply. The total cost for an non-residents to apply is about $2270. Approximately $2100 is refunded back to you by Idaho F&G if you are not drawn.

Additional tags for mule deer, elk, cougar, and small game are sold over the counter. Hunters born after Jan 1, 1975 are required to have Hunter Education. Lower rates apply for youth under 18 years.

Guiding Options

We offer 1x1 or 2x1 Guided moose hunts. We do not recommend unguided hunts for moose. Trophy moose can be hard to find and very tough to pack without stock.
