One of the most coveted North American big game trophies is a Shiras moose. This outfitter offers excellent hunting on private land where virtually all hunters take home a wallhanger.

In most of the West, moose tags are issued only through a computer lottery with poor drawing odds. This outfitter, however, has over-the-counter tags on Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit ranches in Utah, and his Wyoming property is in a unit where most of the good moose hunting takes place on private land, so you don't need as many preference points as you do to draw a tag in a primarily public unit. In both states a few tags also are available to the high bidder at auction. Those permits are typically tax deductible because the money goes toward moose conservation. The JC Ranch in Utah has some outstanding bulls available to hunters in superb physical condition. The property is dominated by a steep, rugged mountain with the bigger bulls living in remote, difficult-to-reach areas. Usually only one or two moose a year are taken off this ranch, but next year there will be four hunters. Bulls from 40 to 50 inches are relatively common on this ranch.

The other CWMU property in Utah has excellent numbers of moose with hunters taking bulls averaging 40 inches wide.
The outfitter's Wyoming property holds a few excellent bulls, but you should expect to hunt hard and pass up multiple bulls for a chance to see an outstanding animal. The Wyoming hunt and one of the Utah hunts are conducted from a lodge. The other Utah hunt includes cabin accommodations. Meals are included. If you can outbid other hunters at tag auctions, you can guarantee yourself a permit to hunt the Wyoming property or some other Utah ranches to which the outfitter has access. Call for details.
