When hunting moose<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, the hunting habitat you select can mean the difference between going home empty-handed or bagging the trophy of your dreams.<\/p>\n

Select the wrong location and you may be tripping over other hunters, without ever seeing an animal. When you know the right place to look, however, you can take your pick of Shiras moose for your trophy.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Why the Best Hunting Habitats Make a Difference<\/h2>\n

When hunting moose in the Intermountain West, the Shiras moose poses an impressive opportunity. Although smaller than the Canadian species, a mature Shiras bull can weigh up to 1,400 pounds and stand six or more feet tall at the shoulder.<\/p>\n

The biggest challenge when hunting Moose in Utah and Wyoming is finding the beasts.<\/p>\n

Because the Shiras thrives in extreme cold, human encroachment and climate conditions continue to push them further north and to higher ground. They\u2019re partial to mountainous areas with lakes or streams, particularly those surrounded by willows.<\/p>\n

Some of the best hunting habitats today are found on private land. In Utah and Wyoming, where the environment can be challenging for an amateur hunter, these areas provide a greatly improved opportunity for bringing home the trophy of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

The Best Utah Moose Hunting Habitats<\/h2>\n

Utah moose habitats range throughout the Ogden and East Canyon areas and the Wasatch Mountains. The north slope area of the Uinta Mountains is particularly ideal today.<\/p>\n

Private land habitats, especially those that are enrolled in Utah\u2019s Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) program, offer some unique benefits for a trophy hunt. The CWMU program offers incentives for private property owners to maintain their land as wildlife habitat, rather than develop the areas.<\/p>\n

For trophy hunters, the CWMU program provides access to the best hunting habitats as well as a limited number of guaranteed tags. Hunting outfitters and private hunting guides \u2013 like R & K Hunting Company \u2013 arrange with landowners to conduct guided hunts for their clients.<\/p>\n
