IDAHO SHIRAS MOOSE HUNTING
Guided Idaho Moose Hunts, Semi-Guided Moose Hunts, Combo Moose Hunting Trips, Cow Moose Hunts, DIY Hunting Maps
Moose hunting in Idaho can be extremely good with more moose spotted some days in Idaho than on many Canadian or Alaskan moose hunts. We keep track of moose sightings throughout the fall season, previous moose sightings are valuable assets when moose hunting. We have a full range of equipment including ATV's, UTV's and horses if needed for the hunt. Shot opportunity has been 100% on the bull moose and cow moose hunts most years.
Hunt Options
We offer guided or semi-guided moose hunts. Five day or three day moose hunts are offered for bulls or cows. With proper licensing cougar, wolf, coyote, and grouse can also be taken if seen at no extra charge during any moose hunt and there is great trout fishing in local waters.
Guided hunts include a full time guide, atv's, utv's, and horses as needed for the hunt. Semi-guided hunts include directions where to hunt and guides will pack out your moose. DIY Moose Hunting Maps are offered for do-it-yourself unguided hunters who want to know where to hunt on their own, no services are included with the DIY Maps.
Accommodations
Indoor lodging and meals are provided at our main base. Guides provide transportation for guided hunts, semi-guided hunters need to bring a 4x4 auto for their own transportation.
Location & Terrain
Guided moose hunts are offered in southeast Idaho. Elevation ranges from 5,500 to 9,000 feet and terrain varies from lower elevation benches to rugged mountains and canyons with high mountain basins.
Trophy Quality
Most mature bull moose taken have antlers from 36” to 45” wide and we've taken bulls up to 52". A record book bull is possible, archery hunters have a fairly good chance of seeing a Pope & Young quality bull moose.
Seasons & Best Time
Bull moose season is open August 30 to November 23 for any legal weapon. Archery is best during the rut in late September or early October while moose can be called in close. Rifle hunting is best in late October or November after leaves fall and snow offers better visibility for spotting moose.
Hunting Methods
Depending on weapon and time of the season, hunt methods may include using a 4x4 vehicle for access, glassing hillsides and basins, spot and stalking, watching water holes, watching known moose feeding areas, and horseback access into some areas.
Shot Opportunity
Shot opportunity has been 100% nearly every year on the moose hunts. Most rifle shots have ranged from 50 to 300 yards, archery shots range from 10 to 60 yards. The hunt can be tailored accommodate hunters who are physically challenged.
Base Price is for DIY Map only (no meals or lodging). 3 and 5 day hunts available.
