Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit M111
Montana FWP draws an exact line around unit M111 and says nothing about where the Shiras moose stand inside it. So the ground below is the unit's own and the read on where to start is ours, labelled as such. The unit lies in Lincoln and Flathead counties.
The lines of the unit: Spring Creek, Elk Mountain and Elbow Creek
Montana FWP draws unit M111 in Lincoln and Flathead counties with a boundary that runs on Highway 93, USFS Road 6799, Highway 2 and Route 35, and on Spring Creek, Elk Mountain, Elbow Creek and Little Bitterroot Lake, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. Those features are what you will check against the map all week, and the divides among them are the ones that matter.
High ground inside the line: Elk Mountain, Elk Ridge and Mount Swaney
Named high points inside the unit include Elk Mountain at 6,582 feet, Elk Ridge at 6,368 feet, Mount Swaney at 6,334 feet, Ashley Divide at 6,297 feet and Ashley Mountain at 6,297 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: Hill Meadow, Shorts Meadow and Long Meadow
Below them sit Hill Meadow at 3,664 feet, Shorts Meadow at 3,611 feet, Long Meadow at 3,375 feet, Stovepipe Canyon at 3,374 feet and Round Meadow at 3,331 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.
Water: Lunch Box Spring and Lemonade Spring
Named sources include Lunch Box Spring and Lemonade Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.

Moose Success Rates
Montana FWP's 2023 harvest estimates carry no Shiras moose row for unit M111 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 | 96 | 1.0% | — |
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 M111. 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.
