Topography and Vegetation: This hunt area is bordered on the west and north by the Wyoming Range. The eastern border is the National Forest System boundary. The highest elevations in the Wyoming Range are dominated by rock and alpine habitats, leading down to mostly coniferous forests, followed lower by aspen forests, then rolling sagebrush foothills and mostly private agricultural grasslands near the major drainages in the bottoms of the valleys.
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 provide excellent hunter access along the many tributaries of the Green River. In areas such as the Piney, Cottonwood and Horse Creeks, numerous opportunity exists for hunters to hunt moose from a well-developed Forest Service road system or from trails along the numerous creek bottoms flowing eastward from the crest of the Wyoming Range. Moose can be found throughout the hunt area. During the warmest periods of the hunting season, moose are typically found near 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, which offer access to the backcountry. However, motorized access is generally restricted to designated routes. Contact the Bridger Teton National Forest Service- Big Piney Ranger District for more information and travel maps.
Additional Hunting Opportunities: Elk and deer are common on U.S. Forest Service lands in this this hunt area. Pronghorn are found in hunt areas immediately to the east in 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, while sage grouse hunting opportunity exists immediately to the east of this moose hunt 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.
