When you're talking serious moose hunting, Wyoming's wilderness delivers the kind of experience that separates the weekend warriors from dedicated hunters. Saddle Horn Outfitters has been putting hunters on mature bulls in some of the most productive moose country you'll find anywhere. This isn't your typical tag-and-bag operation – we're talking about a full 9-day commitment with 7 solid days in the field, working prime habitat where trophy bulls call home. Every aspect is handled for you, from your morning pickup to evening meals, so you can focus entirely on what matters: getting within range of a bull that'll make your neighbors jealous.
Your days start well before sunrise when your guide rolls up to collect you from your accommodations. Coffee and breakfast happen on the move as you head into designated hunting areas that most people never see. This is spot-and-stalk hunting at its finest – no sitting in blinds waiting for something to wander by. You'll be covering ground using 4x4s to reach remote areas, then switching to UTVs for the rough stuff, and when the terrain gets really nasty, horses carry you into places where the biggest bulls hang out. Each day brings a different game plan based on weather, animal movement, and what your guide's seeing in the field. You might spend hours glassing distant ridges, working calls during peak activity periods, or moving quietly through timber where bulls like to bed down. The hunting day ends when you've either filled your tag or darkness forces you out, followed by a solid meal and rest before doing it all again tomorrow.
Wyoming moose hunting is all about reading the country and understanding how these massive animals use the landscape. Your guide will teach you to spot the subtle signs – fresh rubs on willows, tracks in muddy creek crossings, and browse lines that indicate recent feeding activity. The calling game is critical here, especially during the rut when bulls are vocal and aggressive. You'll learn to differentiate between cow calls that bring bulls running and challenge grunts that can either fire up a dominant bull or send a younger one packing. The terrain varies from thick timber and willow bottoms where shots come quick and close, to open parks where long-range skills matter. Weather plays a huge role – cold fronts get moose moving during daylight hours, while warm spells push them into thick cover until evening. Your guide knows how to adjust tactics based on conditions, switching from aggressive calling in heavy timber to patient glassing from vantage points when moose are holding tight.
Wyoming moose are absolute giants that command respect from every hunter who encounters them. Mature bulls can push 1,200 pounds with antler spreads reaching 60 inches or more, making them one of North America's most impressive trophies. These animals are surprisingly mobile for their size, covering serious ground between feeding and bedding areas. Early season bulls are still in bachelor groups, focused on feeding heavily before the rut kicks in. September brings the peak breeding activity when bulls become vocal and aggressive, responding well to calling but also unpredictable in their behavior. Bulls will thrash vegetation, wallow in muddy spots, and patrol their territories looking for cows. Their hearing and sense of smell are exceptional, but their eyesight isn't great, which gives hunters opportunities for stalking if you play the wind right. What makes Wyoming moose special is the quality of habitat – vast wilderness areas with minimal hunting pressure produce bulls that reach full maturity. These aren't the young, smaller bulls you might encounter in heavily hunted areas. You're after the kind of moose that's been dodging hunters for years and knows every trick in the book.

Wyoming's moose are massive - bulls can weigh 1,200+ pounds and stand six feet at the shoulder. These giants prefer wetlands, willow bottoms, and aspen groves where they feed on aquatic plants and browse. You'll find them near beaver ponds, creek bottoms, and marshy areas throughout our hunting zones. Early morning and late evening are prime times when they're most active. What makes moose hunting special is the challenge - they're incredibly smart, have excellent hearing, and can disappear into thick cover despite their size. The meat is outstanding, lean and flavorful. My tip: focus on the transition zones between heavy timber and open meadows. Moose love those edge areas where they can feed but still have quick escape routes into cover.
