Wyoming Moose Hunting 2025

Wyoming's moose numbers are hanging in there throughout the majority of the state.There are even a few areas where moose are thriving and above objective, so antlerless licenses are being issued. Harvest success rates have remained consistent, averaging over 90% across the state, and a handful of Boone and Crockett bulls are harvested every year. If you are a top point holder, you should be able to draw a trophy unit for moose whenever you are ready to hunt. The northwest portion of the state has few to no moose, and tag allocations show this with few tags issued or units closed down altogether. The main reason for this is large predators that are high in numbers and killing moose at a faster rate than they can reproduce. The 10% allocation of tags is a big factor for non-residents as it has made the point creep skyrocket and will continue to do so in the future. Hunters who are not in the top tier for points will want to decide if it is worth the $150 a year to keep applying or not.

Wyoming's Best Moose Units from Our Application Service Team

APP TEAM
UNIT COMMENTS
1 Goose Creek - Northcentral Wyoming in the Bighorn Mountains. One of the top moose units in the state. There are still some trophy class bulls available in this unit, but they are not behind every tree or bush. Hunters will need to spend a lot of time scouting and hunting to find a bigger bull. If you don’t have a lot of time to scout and hunt, you should look into using an outfitter. The country can be rugged and physically demanding, and there is a little wilderness in the southern portion of the unit. There is some private land in the lower elevations that will limit access to some areas. Hunters averaged 4 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
2, 30 Lander Area - Westcentral Wyoming in the Wind River Range. You can hunt both units 2 and 30 on this tag. The moose population and density are below objective, but numbers have been trending up in recent years. Harvest success has stayed high for moose hunters in these units. You are going to need to cover a lot of country and spend several days to find a bigger bull. This is a good hunt for an average bull with the occasional big bull harvested. Unit 30 has typically produced the older bulls; however, a hunter could run into a bull anywhere in these units. Good public land and access in both units. This is a good hunt for a self-guided hunter as moose can be found outside the wilderness areas. This hunt usually runs into late November. Hunters averaged 11 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One license was issued for non-residents in 2024.
3 Pinedale/Sandy - Westcentral Wyoming in the Wind River Range. The moose population here is doing well. This is a high success hunt for average bulls with a potential for a big bull. A non-resident will want to consider hiring an outfitter for this horseback wilderness hunt to hunt the northeast portion of the unit. The southwest portion of the unit is mild country, but it has a lot of private land with limited access and may require the use of an outfitter or a trespass fee. Hunters averaged 13 days to harvest a bull in 2023. Two non-resident licenses were issued in 2024.
5 Upper Green River - Western Wyoming. Good population of moose with potential to harvest a mature bull. A number of the moose can be found along privately-owned river bottoms and drainages in the southwestern portion of the unit. Wilderness area on the east side of the unit is rugged, and horses are nearly a must to hunt that country. For your best chance at a bigger bull, hire an outfitter or pay a trespass fee for access on private ground. There is plenty of public land to do a self-guided hunt, but make sure you have plenty of time to hunt as it will likely take several days to find a good bull. Hunters averaged 16 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There was one non-resident license in 2024.
6 Wind River – Western Wyoming near Dubois. One of the best units in the state for a bigger bull. This is a huge moose unit with a small but growing population. There are some older age class bulls available, with genetics to grow a Boone and Crockett class bull. An outfitter is highly recommended on this hunt to maximize your opportunity. This hunt can be done without an outfitter, but plan on many days afield and a lot of scouting/glassing to find a shooter. Tons of public land with some wilderness areas. The hunt usually runs into late November where bulls will move down to more accessible country. Hunters averaged 23 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
9 Greybull/Owl Creek - Northwestern Wyoming near Meeteetse. This is a big unit with a very low moose density. Population is way down but holding steady for the last few years. There are some older age class bulls available in this huge unit. Plan on covering a ton of country and spending a lot of time to find a big bull. An outfitter is highly recommended and can really help on this hunt. Some wilderness areas on the west side. Always high hunter success on mature bulls. Hunters averaged 11 days to harvest a bull in 2023. No non-resident licenses were issued in 2024.
10 South Hoback/North Hoback - Western Wyoming. Big country that is physically demanding terrain with minimal road access. Plan on a tough hunt, and you need to be covering a lot of country on horseback if you want to be successful. Population is still below objective, but numbers have improved the last few years with some bigger bulls being harvested. Mostly National Forest land with no wilderness. This can be a good option for a self-guided hunter with horses. Plan on spending a lot of time afield or hire an outfitter. Always the possibility for a big bull in the remote areas. Hunters averaged 11 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
11 Absaroka - Northwestern Wyoming bordering Yellowstone National Park. This is a giant unit with low but increasing densities of moose with a chance to harvest a great bull. If you don’t have two weeks or more to hunt, choose another unit. High success with usually one Boone and Crockett bull harvested each year. An outfitter is highly recommended as a lot of the unit is in the wilderness. This country is loaded with grizzly bears, so be prepared for bear encounters. The hunt usually runs into early November. Hunters averaged 35 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
16, 37 Alta/Grassy Lake - Northwestern Wyoming on the Idaho border. Good unit for a trophy class moose. With low tag numbers, great genetics, and the remote country along Teton National Park, this unit will always grow a giant bull or two. Expect to hunt several days and likely late into the season when snow falls and temperatures drop to find the better bulls. This unit has low densities of moose with rough wilderness terrain. An outfitter is recommended due to the wilderness and the need for horses to get around the rugged terrain. The hunt usually runs into the middle of November. Hunters averaged 16 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
17, 28 Lower Gros Ventre/Crystal Creek/Flat Creek - Northwestern Wyoming. The population and age class are still below objective but holding steady. This is typically a high success hunt for younger to average bulls. There is potential for a trophy class bull, but they are few and far between. There are some areas that have good access and can be day hunted, and in other areas, you are going to need horses. Unit 17 has a sliver of wilderness on the northeast edge, but unit 28 is made up of mostly wilderness. An outfitter is nearly a must in this unit for a non-resident to hunt it right. Hunters averaged 13 days to harvest a bull in 2023. No non-resident license was issued in 2024.
18 Fish Creek - Northwestern Wyoming. Low moose densities, but hunter success is very high on average size bulls with a few big bulls being harvested. Expect many days afield if you are looking for a better bull. This is a small unit made up of almost all public land with no wilderness. Little to no road access in most of this unit, so horses or mules are a must. An outfitter is highly recommended if you do not have access to horses. This is rough country, but it has a good trail system for getting around. Hunters averaged 16 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
20 Fall Creek/Targhee - Northwestern Wyoming on the Idaho border near Jackson Hole. Population is below objective but improving with larger bulls being harvested. There are more mature bulls being seen each year, but they are found in the most remote parts of the unit. A good choice for a self-guided hunter as there is no wilderness in this unit, but you will need to be in great shape to handle the terrain. Hunters are going to have to look over a lot of country and likely spend several days in the field to find a bull over 40”. Get off the roads or hire an outfitter for the best success. Hunters averaged 10 days to harvest a bull in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
21 North Hoback - Northwestern Wyoming near Jackson Hole. Population is way down, so plan on a tough hunt where you need to be covering a lot of country on horseback if you want to be successful. Hunters have struggled in the past to harvest a bull. Plan on spending tons of time in the field. A guide will help, but you can still expect a tough hunt. Tons of public land but half of that is wilderness area. No moose were harvested in 2023. With only 2 licenses being issued each year, the non-resident license will likely not be available for a few more years, if at all.
22 Raspberry Ridge - Northwestern Wyoming. Typically, good success on young to average bulls. Plan on many days afield scouting and hunting if you want to take a better bull. This unit has the potential to produce a bigger bull as it has some great genetics, but they are few and far between. Smaller unit with a lot of public land with just a little wilderness on the northern end of the unit. This is a good option for a self-guided hunter. This unit has good road access on the Forest Service land, but horses can be a real assist on this hunt. Hunters averaged 12 days to harvest a bull in 2023.
23 Greys River/Salt Range - Western Wyoming on the Idaho border. Most hunters harvest young 3 to 4-year-old bulls with a few older bulls being harvested the last few years. Tons of public land with good access in the Greys and Salt River drainages. The population is stable now and starting to increase in numbers and bull quality. Plan on many days afield and covering a ton of country if you are looking for an older mature bull. Every couple years, someone takes a giant bull on this unit, usually along the Idaho border. Great hunt for a self-guided hunter as there is no wilderness. Hunters averaged 10 days to harvest a bull in 2023.
24 Big Piney on the National Forest - Southwestern Wyoming. Always a high success hunt. Most hunters harvest younger aged bulls. A lot of public land with good access and no wilderness. This is a good option for a self-guided hunter; however, horses or an outfitter is a must to get into the more remote areas of this unit where the bigger bulls are likely to be found. Hunters averaged 9 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There were 2 non-resident licenses in 2024 and will likely repeat that in 2025 as the population is doing well.
25 Big Piney off of the National Forest - Southwestern Wyoming. Huge unit with the highest densities of moose in the state. A lot of moose are found on private land, so there are always some big bulls available. For your best chance at a bigger bull, hire an outfitter or pay a trespass fee. Great hunt for someone looking for a physically easier guided or self-guided hunt. Hunters averaged 7 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There were 4 non-resident licenses in 2024 with 1 license available in the random draw. If you are not a top tier point holder, this is the unit to apply for.
26 Lincoln - Western Wyoming on the Idaho border. Big unit with high moose densities. Age class is improving with a few bigger bulls being taken each year. The rougher country away from the roads seem to be producing the biggest bulls. Most hunters typically harvest younger 3 to 4-year-old bulls. Country varies from very rough and physically demanding to mild rolling aspen and sage habitat. Great self-guided hunt, but an experienced outfitter can be a huge asset to help you harvest a bigger bull. Hunters averaged 7 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There were 3 non-resident licenses in 2024.
27 Uinta - Southwest Wyoming bordering both Idaho and Utah. This unit is made up of mostly private land, but there is enough public land to hunt. This unit will occasionally produce a great bull. Plan on hiring an outfitter for access to private land. The better bulls typically come from private land. Physically easy hunt that has high hunter success. The hunt usually runs into late November, so you may get bulls moving in from Utah. Hunters averaged 12 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There was 1 non-resident license in 2024.
33, 44 Lower Green River and East Flaming Gorge - Southwestern Wyoming. This unit hunt reopened in 2020, and you can hunt both units 33 and 44 on this tag. Moose are scattered throughout both units in a variety of habitat. Hunters are going to have to cover a lot of country to find bulls on this lower density moose hunt. Majority of moose can be found in higher densities along the Green River. Expect mostly younger bulls, but there are a few older bulls around. A physically easy hunt. An outfitter with access to private ground can be an asset in these units. Hunters averaged 2 days to harvest a bull in 2023. No non-resident tags were issued in 2024.
34 Hunter Mesa - Northcentral Wyoming in the Bighorn Mountains. One of the best units in the state. If you are a top point holder this is a unit to consider. There are always a few great bulls that come out of this unit. Plan on many days afield or hire an outfitter to help find a top end bull. It is a large unit composed mostly of National Forest and some private land in lower elevations. Some of the country can be rugged, with a little wilderness in the northwest portion of the unit. Overall, good access with roads and trails on public land. Hunters averaged 7 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There was one non-resident license issued in 2024.
35 Henry’s Fork - Southwestern Wyoming on the Utah border. Smaller population of moose that are scattered throughout the unit. Expect many days afield to find a bull. Typically high success on young to average bulls with a few 40” bulls available. This is a physically easy hunt. A lot of public land with good access, which makes for a good self-guided hunt. The hunt usually runs into late November, so you may get bulls moving in from Utah. Hunters averaged 5 days to harvest a bull in 2023. No tags were issued for non-residents in 2024.
36 Bear River Divide - Southwestern Wyoming on the Utah border. Low density of moose, but success has been good on average bulls with a big bull being harvested on occasion. Moose are scattered throughout the unit and can be found about anywhere traveling from one willowed area to the next. You are going to want to cover a lot of country to find bulls on this lower density moose hunt. A lot of public land in the northern part of the unit. The southern half is checkerboarded private and public land, but there is a hunter management area that allows access. Outfitters are available and have access to private ground that will come in handy. A physically easy hunt. Hunters averaged 11 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There was 1 non-resident license issued in 2024.
38 Snowy Range - Southcentral Wyoming. One of the best units in the state for a trophy class bull. The top end has slipped from a few years ago, but there are some great bulls available. Population is doing great with the majority of the moose in southeast Wyoming presiding in this unit. The archery hunt can be great as you get first crack at the bulls. Giant unit, but hunters may want to get into the lower access areas to find a big old bull. An outfitter is highly recommended for someone without a lot of time. The hunt usually runs into the middle of November. Hunters averaged 7 days to harvest a bull in 2023. There were 3 non-resident licenses in 2024.
41 Sierra Madres - Southcentral Wyoming. Low population of moose scattered throughout a giant unit. Trophy class bulls are available, but hunters will want plenty of time and to cover a lot of ground to find a mature bull. Good public access in the southern portion of the unit; however, that area can be physically demanding and has a section of wilderness that a non-resident will need an outfitter to hunt. Difficult public access in the majority of the unit with moose residing along creek bottoms mostly consisting of private land. Hunters averaged 10 days to harvest in 2023. One non-resident license was issued in 2024.
45 Pole Mountain - Southeast Wyoming. Steady population with 5 licenses being issued yearly, resulting in a non-resident tag every other year.

Outfitter or private ground access is a must with very little public ground holding moose. Hunters averaged 4 days to harvest in 2023. No non-resident licenses were issued in 2024, but one should be issued in 2025.
40 Lower Hams Fork - Southwestern Wyoming. Big unit with moose that are scattered throughout any habitat that will support them. They especially like the river bottoms in this unit.

Wyoming Moose Hunting Draw

Moose in Wyoming can be found in all different types of terrain, from the wilderness country along Yellowstone and Teton National Parks to the high desert country down south towards the Utah border. Some moose hunts are in the wilderness, so unfortunately for a non-resident, you will need a guide or a Wyoming resident to go on the hunt with you. Other hunts will have plenty of public land for a self-guided hunter and can be milder, easy terrain to hunt. There’s something for everyone when it comes to Wyoming moose. Depending on your point total and the type of hunt desired, you will have a few options.

To apply for moose, applicants will have to submit the entire fee, but if unsuccessful, they will receive a full refund minus the application and 2.5% processing fees. Applicants not wanting to buy a point need to focus on draw units that might still have a random tag, such as 25 that usually has four or more non-resident tags, allowing one to go in the random draw. In 2021, non-resident applicants were no longer required to buy a $150 preference point when applying for moose. This was a nice break for applicants who were being forced to buy the preference point each year even when they knew they would never catch up to the top tier point holders and draw a tag. Drawing a random moose tag in Wyoming is still possible, but with very few tags in the random pull each year, the odds of drawing a tag have drastically decreased.

The maximum number of preference points for non-residents this year is 30. If you find yourself in the 25+ point range, you should have a good chance to draw a license. If pulling a preference tag doesn’t look like a realistic option for you in the future and you’d rather have some moose meat to show for your points instead of walking away from them, you should consider applying for a type 4 antlerless moose permit. In 2024, a total of six antlerless permits were issued to non-residents, most of them being awarded to applicants with 17+ points. See the antlerless moose table for more information.
