Shiras Moose

Shiras Moose Hunts

Also known by som as the Wyoming moose, Shiras moose (Alces alces shirasi) has the smallest body of any North American moose. They are found in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. Typically, drawing a tag is the tough part, but there are a number of ways to skip the draw. We can help you get Conservation Tags, Landowner Tag or Hunting Vouchers, and our British Columbia hunt is one of the only over-the-counter Shiras moose hunts available.

Bulls range in size from 36” to 55” and often tip the scales at 1,200 lbs. Their diet consists of alder branches, grass and shrubs, and along with mountain goats, are the only animals that do not move to wintering grounds during the winter. Shiras moose are often referred to “the moose of the mountains”, as they can be found high up in alpine slides. These moose do not seem to enjoy swamps and water as much as the other species do.

Why you should consider booking one of our Shiras moose hunts:

  • If you need to complete your North American 29 you will need a Shiras moose.
  • If you drew a good tag and need to find a vetted outfitter to book your hunt with, we can help.
  • Outdoors International only works with excellent, reputable outfitters who will take your hunt seriously.
  • Do you need help obtaining a Landowner Tag or a Conservation Permit? We have landowner tags here in the Lower 48, and even a few over-the-counter tags for Shiras moose hunts in BC.

World Record Shiras Moose

The World Record Shiras Moose

The Boone and Crockett world record Shiras moose was taken by John M. Oakley in 1952, near Green River Lake, Wyoming. The bull scores 205-4/8 points. Mounted and initially owned by J.L. Nevins and H.A. Yocum of Frontier Taxidermists, Oakley’s prized moose was later sold to the Jackson Hole Museum in Jackson, Wyoming.

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!
