Topography and Vegetation: This hunt area is located along the foothills of the Wyoming Range and Salt River Range, and near the towns of Alpine and Afton, Wyoming. The area is steep and rugged with very few trails except in the major stream bottoms. There is a wide array of vegetation found in this hunt area. North exposures tend to be steep, heavily timbered with coniferous tree cover of spruce and Subalpine fir types. Downfall that makes travel difficult in these exposures. On south, east and west exposures mountain shrubs, herbaceous forbs and grasses along with aspen stands are typically the dominant plants. Elevation varies from 7200 feet at the lowest points along the Greys River to the crest of the Salt River Range and Wyoming Range near Mt Fitzpatrick and Wyoming Peak, respectively where elevations approach 11,000 feet. The highest elevations in the Salt River Range are dominated by rock and sub-alpine habitats, leading down to mostly coniferous forests, followed lower by aspen forests.
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: This area is ideal for horseback, backpack, and hunting from a vehicle as a wide array of open roads allow good hunter access along the Greys River and Little Greys River roads. Access is more restricted along the west slope of the Salt River Range, but in the southwest portion of the area hunters will find moose in the Spring Creek drainage. The area offers a predominated public land hunting opportunity on National Forest System Lands. Moose can be found throughout the hunt area, especially in Greys River. During the warmest periods of the hunting season, moose are typically found near the habitats that offer cooler environments that are characteristic of north exposures. There are several trails that are open to motorized vehicles during the hunting season. Motorized access is generally restricted except on designated routes. Contact Forest Service for more information.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Elk and deer are common on U.S. Forest Service lands in this this hunt area. Pronghorn are found much farther to the south in the Bear River Basin and east toward the Green River Basin. Consult the pronghorn, elk and deer regulations for hunt areas, license requirements and season dates. Dusky and ruffed grouse are locally abundant in forested regions in the area. Consult the Upland Game Bird and Small Game Hunting Regulation for season dates, license requirements and bag/possession limits.

About Moose Hunting in Wyoming

Applying for a License

Obtaining a moose license can be very difficult or relatively easy depending on the hunt area and the sex of the animal. Cow licenses in many areas can be drawn with only a few preference points, while the drawing odds for a bull or any moose tag are much steeper. Wyoming law allocates 90 percent of moose licenses to residents, with the remaining 10 percent issued to nonresidents. Of course with the random drawing there is always a mathematical chance of drawing a license for first time applicants.

 

Moose licenses are issued for a hunt area, season dates and sex limitations. The applicant may list only one (1) hunt area choice for moose.

The Waiting Game

A Type 1 moose license is a once-in-a-life time license.  A successful Type 4 moose applicant must wait five (5) years to next apply for or receive another Type 4 moose license.  A successful Type 1 moose applicant can submit a Type 4 moose application the following year.
