The tag is a separate, mandatory cost — and you have to draw it first
Idaho moose is a controlled-hunt draw through Idaho Fish and Game, and nothing an outfitter charges includes it. A resident application and tag runs roughly $183 to $217; a nonresident's runs about $2,627 to $2,855. You pay that to the state, you have to draw the tag before any outfitter's rate applies to you, and it's a separate transaction from whatever's below.
Sixteen outfitters, and the two ends of the market are real
Half these hunts land between roughly $3,700 and $8,400. The low end of the table below is a five-day unguided access package — you're on your own once you're dropped off, not paired with a guide. The high end is a fully outfitted seven-day hunt with a guide the whole way. Those aren't comparable products, so match the row to what you're actually booking before you decide it's cheap or expensive.
The same question, three states over
Idaho fills out the last corner of the Rockies moose map — Colorado, Montana and Wyoming all have their own number if you're shopping across state lines. Call more than one outfitter before you book — at this price, a few phone calls easily pay for themselves.

How we rank: Outfitters are ranked by a credibility-weighted rating that blends each outfitter's verified Google star rating with how many reviews back it up — so a strong average from many hunters outranks the same average from only a few — then by the breadth of moose packages they offer (live inventory, last updated September 2026). Prices, ratings and review counts come straight from each outfitter's current listings — always confirm details before you book.
