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 taylored accomodate hunters who are physically challenged.

Licensing & Hunter Ed

The chance of drawing a tag ranges from about 10% up to nearly 100% depending on the unit. Call or email Bearpaw Outfitters to get on the mailing list to be advised when and how to apply.
