Shiras Moose Hunts British Columbia

One of North America’s 29, moose is the largest member of the deer family, the Shiras Moose otherwise known as a Wyoming moose is the smallest of the moose subspecies and is indigenous to the Bull River area.

In late October, just after the rut season, the Shiras Moose begin to migrate towards their winter range, providing excellent hunting opportunities. This hunt typically takes place at our Northern most camp, the Blackfoot at about 6500’ elevation.

Although not a physical hunt, it is a game of “patience”. Sit, wait and watch. Moose are typically creatures of habit and they frequent their feeding “holes” in a predictable manner. The trick is finding the holes. The moose populations are conservatively managed and are healthy across the Kootenay Region. . Mature Shiras bulls range from 44”-50”.
