Washington's Shiras Moose hunting units are
all located in
Northeast Washington, right where Bearpaw
Outfitters have conducted hunts
for over 30 years.
Bearpaw Outfitters are the
most experienced moose hunting guides and
outfitters in Washington. Past hunters have
taken some very nice moose and success is almost
always 100% because Bearpaw Outfitters not only
know the area extremely well, they also
pre-scout before hunters arrive for their moose
hunt.
Best Time
Moose hunting is
best either the first week of the season when
Bulls are vocal while rutting or later in the
season during November after the leaves come off
the brush and it snows. You can see much better
then.
Trophy Quality
There are a lot of moose in the hunt areas and
there is no reason for anyone to shoot a small
bull.
Shiras Moose
average about a 40 inch spread in this area.
Most Bulls taken have been between 36" and 46".
There are even a few big old bulls seen now and
then that should measure 50" or more.
Northeast Washington has produced
some record book heads and there are plenty of
good bulls, so by hunting the right areas you
should get a good bull too.
Hunting Methods
Moose hunting is
best in areas with plenty of young forage. Bearpaw
Outfitters know which hunting areas consistently
hold good moose numbers and will spend the most
time hunting these areas which hold
the most moose so you can be more selective. The
real key to finding a good moose is to cover a
lot of ground in the right areas until you find
the right moose. You don't want to waste time
hunting in areas with little or no moose.
Shot Opportunity
Shot opportunity
on the moose hunts is almost always 100%
because Bearpaw Outfitters know the moose areas well and scout in advance. Shot distances
vary from 30 to 250 yards. Sight your rifle dead
on at 200 yards.
Licenses
Moose licenses are
issued through an inexpensive lottery draw
system. Purchase a moose application and
then apply for specific units over the phone or
online. If you are drawn then you purchase the
moose license and tag. There are also two moose
permits issued through a raffle, the tickets are
available on the Fish & Wildlife website. One
governor's moose tag is sold at auction every
year to the highest bidder. If you are
interested in bidding on the the governor's
moose tag Bearpaw can assist you.
Remember, if you don’t
apply, you'll never draw. Each year 100+ lucky
hunters draw moose tags and two hunters win the
raffle. Our recommendation is that if you are
serious about going Shiras Moose hunting; you
should apply in Idaho, Washington, and Utah. By
applying in several states you increase your
odds of drawing a moose tag much sooner in one
of the states.
Hunting Areas
Bearpaw Outfitters
know the moose areas well. Hunts are conducted
in the best proven locations in these areas.
Moose Season
All Weapons: Moose
season opens for all weapons from October 1 to
November 30. Deer, Bear, Turkey, Coyote, Elk, or
Grouse can also be hunted with the proper
licenses during their seasons.
Hunt Options
Guided: Several guide ratios and
pricing are offered that include accommodations,
guiding, and game care.
Unguided: Several unguided hunt
options are offered that include accommodations,
hunting advice, and maps.
Moose Info:
For hunters who want to provide their own accommodations and hunt on their
own, but need to know where to go.
You are provided a marked map showing where to hunt and you will be
told how to hunt moose in your permit area. You would waste hundreds
in fuel and time off work trying to find the right areas and figuring out how to
hunt them. This info will save you time & money.
Accommodations
Lodge & Cabin: The facilities
are only 10 to 60 minutes from most
hunting areas and include meals in the dining room, pool table
in the den, indoor bathrooms, bunk beds in the cabins,
and a lighted game
cleaning area with water for cleanup. Groups of
up to 16 can be accommodated.
Motel “Town Hunts”:
Motels are only 10 to 60 minutes from most of
the
hunting areas. Bearpaw Outfitters provide guided
and unguided hunters with their room. Guided
hunters are picked up and returned to their room
each day. Unguided hunters are given hunting
advice and a marked map to hunt areas. Meals are
not included so budget about $30 per day.

available locally for a fee, or you may choose
to transport your trophy and carcass home. Meat
