Shiras Moose Hunting
Shiras Moose Hunting in Colorado
Colorado hosts some of the best Shiras moose hunting in the west. Our central Colorado area (GMU 55) grows older Shiras bulls . Since the reintroduction of moose to this part of the state in the early 2000's, the moose population has thrived and grown exponentially. We regularly see Boone-and-Crockett sized Shiras moose wandering the haunts of Taylor Park. In 2016, Colorado Parks and Wildlife decided to give our area a couple of coveted shiras moose tags to be drawn by public hunters. Though any moose tag will likely take many years to draw, you always have a chance if you have at least 3 moose points going into the draw. If you have ever dreamed of a hunt for Shiras moose, and are blessed to draw this coveted once-in-a-lifetime tag, then call AEI Outfitter for an adventure that you will remember forever.

Moose Preference Points and Licenses
There are no over-the-counter mountain moose tags in Colorado. Moose are managed very carefully in Colorado. Due to the limited number of moose in the state, there are strict quota limitations. Consequently, someone wanting to hunt moose must have a number of Colorado moose preference points in order to draw the tag.
Colorado does not even allow you in the weighted lottery to draw a tag until you have 3 preference points. Once you have 3 points, you have a chance at drawing the GMU 55 moose tag. If you are serious about drawing a moose tag in Colorado, start putting in ASAP and acquire those points and start applying for the tag after you have reached the 3 point minimum.
Applications for licenses open online March 1. The deadline for applications is the first Tuesday in April of each year. We can assist you in this process upon request.
