Utah Moose Hunting 2025

Utah lies at the southern edge of the Shiras moose range, so suitable habitat is limited. The majority of the moose population is concentrated in Northern Utah where much of the land is privately owned. As a result, some of Utah’s moose hunting units can be challenging for self-guided hunters to access. All units open to non-residents have some private property restrictions, but most offer ample public land for a successful hunt. Additionally, Utah has a program that allows private landowners to sell moose permits with several ranches participating in the CWMU (Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit) program. For more details, visit Utah’s CWMU program or reach out to us for information on the ranches we work with.

Utah’s moose population has fluctuated over the last 15-20 years and currently is holding steady with some slight increases and decreases from unit to unit. Unfortunately, non-residents lost a couple moose units this year (Morgan-South Rich and Ogden) in the draw. These two units were highly private land and were the toughest for public land hunters, but still, that is two options that are not available and will push all the moose applicants into the remaining four units, which is going to worsen the draw odds. Last year, only the North Slope/Summit and Cache units had non-resident preference tags available, but these can come and go, so make sure you check the UDWR recommendations in April to see how many permits are being proposed.
