Available Utah Moose Hunts --- Search HF Aventures
Utah is near the southern extent of the Shiras moose range, and as such, suitable habitat is limited. Ninety-nine percent of the population is in Northern Utah, which is where a lot of private property is, and because of this, some of Utah’s moose units are extremely difficult to access for self-guided hunters. All of the units available for non-residents have some private property limitations. All of them outside of Ogden and Morgan-South Rich have plenty of public land to be able to have a good hunt. On the other side of that coin, Utah has a program that allows these private landowners to sell moose permits, and there are several ranches that have them every year. These ranches are part of the CWMU (Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit) program. For more information, go to https://wildlife.utah.gov/about-the-cwmu-program.html or give us a call for ranches that we work with.

Utah added the Morgan-South Rich unit to the list of units available for nonresidents to apply for in 2023 as well as 2024. This unit consists largely of private land with a little bit of public, accessible land that will hold enough moose for a public land hunter to be successful but is one of the more difficult moose hunts in Utah. Moose quality fluctuates some from year to year, and currently quality is average across the board in most units in the state. There are always some bigger bulls in units that consist of largely private land or in units like the North Slope, Summit that have vast amounts of wilderness that create refuges for moose to grow to maturity. The population right now in Utah is doing well and appears to have stabilized since the population decline of 2007-2010. If you are planning on hiring an outfitter on your hunt, there is good quality in all units. If you are going self-guided, you should probably stick to North Slope, Summit or Cache for better quality bulls and to have plenty of public land.
