Shiras Moose Hunting Season and Opportunities

The Montana moose hunting season typically runs from mid-September to late November, giving hunters plenty of time to find a bull. The early season often coincides with the rut, when bulls are more active and responsive to calling, while the late season presents a unique opportunity to track moose in colder weather, when they can be found feeding in lower elevations.

We work with a number of vetted, quality outfitters in Montana that offer guided Shiras moose hunts.

Hiring a good outfitter is the best way to maximize your chances of success. Spot-and-stalk is the most common approach, utilizing high vantage points to glass for moose in the early morning or late evening when they are most active. Calling during the rut can also be highly effective, luring bulls into closer range and providing an adrenaline-pumping hunting experience. Some hunts are conducted on foot in backcountry areas, while others may involve horseback travel or ATVs to cover larger distances and access remote locations.

Montana’s Shiras moose are known for good trophy potential.

Hunters who are fortunate enough to draw a moose tag in Montana are in for a rewarding experience, with the opportunity to harvest a mature bull and contribute to sustainable wildlife management efforts. The state has implemented strict regulations and limited tag quotas to ensure a healthy moose population. The management practices in Montana focus on conservation and responsible hunting, maintaining a balance between wildlife preservation and hunting opportunities. Hunters play a crucial role in these efforts by supporting local conservation programs and adhering to ethical hunting standards.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
