Colorado Shiras Moose Hunting Outfitters
Shiras Moose Hunts in Colorado
You will have the opportunity to hunt seven private ranches (55,000 acres), along with approximately one thousand acres of BLM land, and hundreds of thousands of acres of Routt National Forest which reaches up to an altitude of well over 10,000 feet.
Tags in Colorado are extremely difficult to draw and with the increase in Moose populations in this region, there are some giant bulls that inhabit the area. Moose live in all the areas in the North Park Region, so we will hunt them from the valley floor up to the tree line in the surrounding mountain ranges.
Its normal to see up to 15 different bulls per day during the rut, this is an absolutely incredible hunt if you can draw the tag. We target mature bulls that will score in the 140" - 180" range, with width measurements in the 40 - 50" category. Both of our units have a high moose population, there is NOWHERE else in Colorado, the lower 48, or the Western US where you will see the number and size of bulls as you will in our units!
In the 1970's the first breeding pair of Moose were transplanted from Utah to our Parkview Ranch, so this is where the extremely successful conversation program started!
We hosted the Colorado Governors Tag holder in 2017/2018, we harvested two mature bulls one with a bow and one with a rifle.
