Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary
The Shiras Moose (Alces alces shirasi), a distinctive subspecies of the moose family, is primarily found in the forests and wetlands of the northern Rocky Mountains, notably in areas such as Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. This majestic animal is characterized by its relatively smaller size compared to other moose, with adult males typically weighing between 800 to 1,200 pounds and standing about 5 to 6.5 feet at the shoulder. Key features include long, palmate antlers that can span over 60 inches, and a broad muzzle, which aids in foraging for aquatic vegetation and hardwood browse. Hunting Shiras Moose presents a unique challenge, as their elusive nature and preference for dense cover require hunters to navigate rugged terrain and utilize effective calling techniques during the autumn rut. Successful hunts often hinge on strategic scouting and a deep understanding of their behavior, as well as adherence to local regulations and ethical practices, ensuring a respectful approach to this iconic North American species.
Explore HuntsHunt Features
Shiras Moose hunts take you into rugged western timber and clearcut country where these massive bulls—often weighing up to 1,000 pounds with impressive antler spreads—thrive in regeneration areas, river bottoms, and high‐elevation drainages. Outfitters offer a range of options from fully guided rifle or archery safaris with comfortable lodge or spike-camp accommodations, hearty camp‐cooked meals, and field‐dressing plus pack‐out services, to semi-guided and self-guided programs using 4×4 access or horseback drop camps equipped with tents, wood stoves, and basic cooking gear. Early starts and purposeful scouting—whether on foot, saddle, or in a truck—maximize encounters during bugle season and late-season migrations. Most operators maintain high success rates, and hunters must secure state tags (often via lottery) before booking, making Shiras Moose a challenging yet rewarding pursuit for both experienced and first‐time big-game hunters.
Explore HuntsAmenities
Shiras Moose hunts are typically based out of full-service lodges, with occasional use of cabins or canvas tents at more remote spike camps. Accommodations in lodge settings feature private rooms with comfortable beds and modern climate-control systems, while tented camps provide sturdy cots and rely on wood-burning stoves for heat. This mix of housing options allows outfitters to tailor the experience to terrain and season, ensuring reliable shelter and warmth during one-on-one guided outings.

Six Day Moose
Double T Outfitters offers quality elk, mule deer, antelope, moose, black bear and antelope hunts. We offer archery hunts, bugle hunts in heavy rut with a rifle and migration hunts. We enjoy some of Wyoming's most game rich country, years of experience and the best guides in the area.
We're a serious, hard working, alcohol free camp. So long as the hunter is willing, we hunt in any kind of weather. Some mornings start for the guides as early as 2:30 a.m. and will find us in the saddle hours before daylight just to catch a big bull in one of our favorite meadows or a large muley on a high peak drifting back to his bedding grounds.
We take the load off our hunters in every way possible so they can focus all their energy on hunting. We believe we can offer you some of the finest guides, horses, food, camp and hunting that the outfitting industry has to offer.
