Wyoming moose hunting offers a unique and rewarding Shiras moose hunting experience, if you can draw a tag. With good moose populations, plenty of mature animals, and landscape that features towering mountain ranges, lush valleys, and winding rivers, Wyoming provides the perfect setting for a challenging and memorable hunt.

Wyoming Moose Hunting Season and Prime Locations

The Wyoming moose hunting season typically runs from early September through late October, allowing hunters to take advantage of different conditions. The early season aligns with the rut, when bulls are more likely to be active and responsive to calling. Later in the season, as temperatures drop, hunters can find moose at lower elevations, often near water sources or areas with abundant forage.

Some of the best moose hunting areas in Wyoming are located in regions such as the Bighorn Mountains, the Wind River Range, and the Greys River area in the western part of the state near Yellowstone National Park. These areas are known for their healthy moose populations, providing hunters with a high chance of encountering mature bulls.

Hunting Shiras moose in Wyoming requires flexibility in strategy due to the state’s diverse terrain.

Spot-and-stalk is one of the most popular methods, with hunters using binoculars and spotting scopes to locate moose from a distance and then planning a careful approach. Calling during the rut can also be very effective, luring bulls into range for a closer shot.

Hunting often involves navigating rugged backcountry terrain, sometimes requiring the use of horses, ATVs, or even boats to reach remote locations. Experienced outfitters can be invaluable, as they provide local expertise, knowledge of prime hunting spots, and access to private lands where moose are more abundant. Outfitters also ensure a more comfortable experience, with camps or lodges that allow hunters to rest and prepare for each day’s pursuit.

Trophy Moose Potential and Conservation Efforts

Shiras moose in Wyoming are known for their significant trophy potential. Drawing a Shiras moose tag in Wyoming is considered a special opportunity due to the limited number of permits issued each year, making it a true trophy hunt for those lucky enough to get one.

Wyoming has implemented careful wildlife management practices to ensure the moose population remains strong and sustainable. Limited tag numbers, regulated hunting seasons, and ongoing monitoring efforts help maintain a healthy balance, allowing hunters to enjoy a world-class hunting experience while supporting conservation.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
