Some big moose live in this area bordering Montana and located in the St. Joe River drainage.
Moose numbers are much lower here than in the northern Panhandle. A combination of dense cover, few moose tags and a lot of rough terrain has resulted in tough hunting but some big bulls. A high percentage of bulls have antlers spreading 40-46”.
Quick Tips
- Grizzlies live in the area
- Keep food and game carcasses out of the reach of bears
- Buy a wolf tag (nonresident fee: $31.75)
- Excellent fishing for Westslope cutthroat trout in the St. Joe River
- Buy a deer or an elk tag
