Best moose units to apply for in Idaho

[bornhunter]

I am going to try for moose tag in Idaho this year for the first time. Any opinions on good units to try for? Have not tried their hunt planner or talked to bio's yet but plan on doing do so.

Do you have a general area you’re looking at or anywhere in the state?

Canada!!  Any province is better than Idaho.    but it is the truth.

All Idaho units are pretty equal. Look at the stats for average antler spread. Success is pretty equal to..so it boils down to terrain preference.

$2100 is much cheaper than a Canadian hunt, good luck on your search.

That is fact....a Canadian moose hunt will set you back a few more bills.

I would have agreed a few years ago. No way equal anymore some of the prior best units hardly have moose. Op needs to only do minimal homework and some units will stand out. I would look at units actually south of panhandle units for trophy quality. Check last few years success rates and average width versus 5 and then 10 years ago it’s clear which units      Are hurting and the few that aren’t.

The bios will probably tell you most units are fine many are not. need to do just a little homework.

I've hunted the Panhandle for over 20 years, and the wolves have decimated it.  Especially Unit 1. I would look for areas with less wolves.   My advice would be to do your research, especially focusing on the last five years as North Idaho was awesome 10 years ago.

Not set on any area yet. Open to anything right now. In what research I have done just this am things look a bit disappointing. Surprised too that most controlled elk hunts are already sold out. I obviously snoozed to long. Moose apps close on the 30th. May be to late. Thanks everyone for the input.

You’re expectations for the hunt will also dictate what units may be better than others. Do you want to just draw a tag and hunt moose being happy with shooting a decent bull or do you want to draw a tag and hunt for a B&C bull?  There’s still a lot of options, most units you just have to work a bit harder in now rather than just shooting one from the road.

Man we were doing so good and now in one day we have a thread about Idaho moose and one about Raffle tags. This is what PMs are for people. I’m in for Idaho moose so hopefully I get lucky. Good luck to all who are in
