Cow moose

Ouch. On 2nd thought maybe I'll just continue reading posts about others going cow moose hunting...
Or tag along on a hunt and help out if the opportunity knocks.

That price isn t including the $300 bucks to get your first 3 years of preference points.

It's not that common for moose I did my second cow moose tag with 1 point as a resident. My 3rd one took 3-2 points. Sandbrew

If someone wants to hunt moose and you start looking at options, the tag + app fees for a CO cow moose do not look too bad.

I see this as my viable moose options:
ID bull - hopefully draw a tag in the next few years with resident odds and DIY hunt.
CO cow - draw in the next 5 years maybe? 2,600+ for tags fees but plan to DIY the hunt
ID cow - probably very few ID cow tags left by the time I am eligible again and I'll probably apply for sheep and goat first.
AK Moose - DIY fly in hunt might close to $10k all in?
BC Moose - No idea if prices are current but 2x1 guided hunts start at $6k based on some searches, but $8-10k looks more common. And would probably be higher by the time I could go.


If all goes well I might be able to do the AK or BC moose hunt in <10 years. But if not, I should have already have gone on a couple DIY moose hunts between ID and CO.

So just to be clear, it cost $2300.51 for the cow moose tag? Does that include a fishing license? If so, that’s CRAZY!!

Yes. Plus the cost of the hunting license you would need to apply (if you’re not already applying for other species).

Got it. Thanks Bowhuntrben.

If we're looking outside the US, lets not forget that Newfoundland is an option. My wife's trip was $4300 for a 6-day guided either sex moose hunt. Seems awful reasonable compared to some of the other options.
