Allow plenty of time to hunt the unit
Unit 230 encompasses a large area just West of Missoula, MT to the Idaho border. This area is heavily timbered, but very scenic with a dispersed moose population. There are many other hunting opportunities for deer, elk, and black bears, all with general licenses. If the hunting is slow, this unit provides some very good fishing opportunities as well.
This unit is very large with lots of public access. The moose population is very dispersed. With only 4 licenses available, other moose hunters should not be an issue. A realistic expectation would be a bull near 40” wide, with some bulls exceeding this. During elk and deer season, there will be high hunting pressure in this unit which can cause frustration. Hunting this unit can be very time consuming due to how dispersed the population is. Allow plenty of time for hunting as it can take many days to find a mature bull.
