On The Ground
Located in the northern part of the state, this unit has some great moose hunting. With limited tag numbers and over a month to hunt, it can be considered a hunt of a lifetime for the hunter who draws the tag.
There is a lot of private land and a healthy herd of Shiras Moose that can be found here. A hunter willing to put in the time and seek private land permission will have the chance to see a bull moose.

Leading out of the valley floor, the steep Bear River Mountain Range rises to rugged heights of 9,800 feet. Along the mountain range are creek drainages heading down to the rolling foothills.
