This is a relatively small unit for moose hunting. It can be found in the Snake River Valley and is mainly made up of private property along the Snake River between the towns of Idaho Falls and Blackfoot.
The biggest hurlde for hunters in the small unit will be securing private access. Very little public land is available to hunt.
This area takes up a small and narrow strip of land along the Snake River between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. This area is primarily private land and finding moose on public pieces can be a tall order.
Along the Snake River, moose typically find cover in heavy brush, bulrushes, cattails, dense willows, weeds and phragmites. Sometimes a bull can be seen crossing a farm field in this area.
Hunters can float the river to get to the islands and BLM land near the river, but most land here is private, so hunters need access permission.
Lodging can be found in American Falls, Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. Willow Creek Recreation Area allows camping. Massacre Rock State Park has 50 campsites and is open year round with limited services during winter. Indian Springs Resort and RV Park has 120 campsites, 30 of them with full hookups, including sewer.
