Unit M112 lies in Flathead and Lake counties. Montana FWP publishes no per-unit Shiras moose success figure we can verify for this unit. Check land status on a current map before you plan a route.
Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit M112
What Montana FWP publishes for unit M112 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 Flathead and Lake counties.
The lines of the unit: Thompson River, Shroder Creek and Flathead Lake
Montana FWP draws unit M112 in Flathead and Lake counties with a boundary that runs on Highway 2, USFS Trail 137, USFS Trail 132 and USFS Trail 290, and on Thompson River, Shroder Creek, Flathead Lake and Flathead River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. That is a legal description, not a habitat map. 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: Blacktail Mountain, Murr Peak and Pinehill
Named high points inside the unit include Blacktail Mountain at 6,762 feet, Murr Peak at 6,748 feet, Pinehill at 6,408 feet, Bold Peak at 6,338 feet and Haskill Mountain at 6,291 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: Browns Meadow, Basin Meadows and Dower Draw
Below them sit Browns Meadow at 3,901 feet, Basin Meadows at 3,550 feet, Dower Draw at 3,171 feet, Haywire Gulch at 3,169 feet and Jackson Draw at 3,162 feet. That is the low country of the unit — the ground animals drop into when they are pushed or when the weather turns. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
Water: Bickford Spring, Foss Spring and Moore Springs
Named sources include Bickford Spring, Foss Spring, Moore Springs, Welcome Spring, Coon Springs and Indian 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 M112 that we can read back to this unit on its own.

Montana FWP's current harvest estimates are the place to check before you apply.
Moose Draw Odds

Search Montana Draw OddsMontana FWP's draw recap has no Shiras moose record we can tie to unit M112. 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.
