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.
You need the tag before you need an outfitter
Moose here is special-draw only. There's no over-the-counter tag and no guarantee: you apply, you wait for the draw, and only then does an outfitter's rate matter. Plan around the permit first, not the trip.
Why six outfitters don't list a price
Six of the thirteen outfitters below don't list a price at all. That's not a hole in what we collected — it's what this market looks like. A chunk of it still runs on a phone call before you see a number, which is exactly why the seven who do publish one are worth starting with.
Well liked isn't the same as moose-tested
None of these outfitters happen to have a customer account of an actual moose hunt, start to finish — the praise below is for the guides and the lodge in general. Read it for the outfitter's character, not for what a moose hunt itself is like.

I’ve been hunting with Ethan and Wyatt for many years. The lodge is immaculate any time of the year.
Incredible experience of a lifetime. Amazing country to hunt, great guides and accommodations.
