Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit M100
What Montana FWP publishes for unit M100 is a boundary, not a Shiras moose map. The country below is verified; where to begin in it is our judgement, not the agency's. The unit lies in Lincoln County.
The lines of the unit: Kootenai River, Yaak River and Pipe Creek
Montana FWP draws unit M100 in Lincoln County with a boundary that runs on USFS Road 68 and Route 37, and on Kootenai River, Yaak River and Pipe Creek, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. Its value is practical — those are the features you will navigate by, and the ridges that separate one day's country from another's.
High ground inside the line: Northwest Peak, Purcell Mountains and Davis Mountain
Named high points inside the unit include Northwest Peak at 7,707 feet, Purcell Mountains at 7,699 feet, Davis Mountain at 7,581 feet, Rock Candy Mountain at 7,191 feet and Marmot Mountain at 6,930 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Moose need standing water and willow, so on dry country they are tied to the few drainages that hold both.
Holding ground: Newton Gulch, Lynx Creek Flats and Hunter Gulch
Below them sit Newton Gulch at 2,525 feet, Lynx Creek Flats at 2,466 feet, Hunter Gulch at 2,108 feet, Surprise Gulch at 1,967 feet and Windy Pass at 5,262 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Two you can watch from a single knob is worth more than five you have to drive between.

Moose Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no Shiras moose row for unit M100 that we can read back to this unit on its own. Where the agency reports a unit inside a grouping, or prints a table our parser cannot resolve to a single column, we leave the number out rather than publish a statewide average as though it had been measured here. Montana FWP's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
Moose Draw Odds
| Season | Tags | Applicants | Draw % | Pts (n/p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Rifle — General either sex (nonresident) | 1 | 236 | 0.4% | — |
Data from 2025 draw results. Each row is one residency pool — read the label before the number. This agency publishes no point thresholds, so the Pts column stays blank and these are pool odds, not what a point total draws.
Open in Draw Odds EngineMontana FWP's draw recap has no Shiras moose record we can tie to unit M100. That usually means the licence is sold over the counter, is issued under a hunt code covering several units, or was not offered in the years we hold. Rather than estimate a point requirement, we leave it blank — check Montana FWP's own draw recap for the hunt code you mean to apply for.
