As far as licenses drawn by the wife and I, no trophy animals will be harmed this hunting season......unless we hit one with the truck! 🙂 memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024

I currently have 18 pp for WY Moose and am planning on applying next year with 19 pp. Looking at Area 38, 1, 26 and 25. JD338

Don't apply for both in same year and you won't draw. JD338 you will not draw 38 with less than max PP unless you get a random tag. I would look closely over the draw odds report and use those PP next year before Wyoming goes to 90/10 on sheep, moose and goat tags for NR. That push may well happen very soon. Good moose areas other tan 38, which gets all the attention .

You have options for a good moose just not in 38 I'm afraid.

Sept 15 is our rifle opener for that area. Wyoming moose unit 24 is managed for quantity as opposed to quality. You're right that there isn't a lot of big bulls but there is still a solid chance at a mature bull. I drew that tag in 2018 and killed an average bull that I was perfectly happy with. I'd of spent more time on that tag if I hadn't of also drawn another rare tag in a different state. I think the average Shiras bull killed in unit 24 is 32-34" wide, according to the stats. With some work a 40"+ is certainly doable. I know of one killed in 2018 that was about 45". Good luck with it.

Of the 14 that answered the survey, 6 were 40" + bulls. Looking forward to just seeing the moose, we see them all the time while elk hunting over here.
