Shiras Moose Hunts

The Shiras moose is the smallest in body and antlers of the North American types of moose. Named after George Shiras III who described these moose during his explorations in the Yellowstone Area in the early 1900’s, they are found in Southeast British Columbia, Southwest Alberta and parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. A trophy bull will have a spread between 40-50 inches with some bigger. Now is a good time to kill a Shiras Moose that ranks high in the record books. In the United States, most Shiras moose hunts require someone to be very lucky and draw a tag, although we can offer hunts through landowner and conservation tags. In Canada, our outfitters have allocated tags, making planning a hunt very easy.

Best Times to Hunt Shiras Moose!

Shiras moose hunts typically occur from September through November. Bulls start rutting in early September and continue well into October and calling, as well as spot and stalk, are very effective options throughout this period. Late October into November can be very good as well – this is when the leaves fall off and spotting bulls in their willow thickets becomes much easier. It all depends when you want to go as oftentimes seasons are long.

Best Places to Hunt Shiras Moose!

Tags are often hard to come by, but some states do have better opportunities than others such as Idaho which has reasonable draw odds. Moose are a vulnerable species, and often a hotspot will only be a hotspot for only a few years. We study constantly by both research with fish and game departments and talking to outfitters, as well as boots on the ground. We don’t want a hard to draw tag to go to waste for anyone. Canada offers guaranteed tags for Shiras Moose and offers the best opportunity for those who don’t have many points for lower 48 draws. No matter where you want to hunt Shiras moose, we’ve got you covered.
