Where to Find Shiras Moose in Unit M314
What Montana FWP publishes for unit M314 is a boundary, not a Shiras moose map. Every place named below sits inside the unit line. Which of them holds animals in your season is for you to find out. The unit lies in Gallatin and Park counties.
The lines of the unit: Yellowstone River, Trail Creek and Goose Creek
Montana FWP draws unit M314 in Gallatin and Park counties with a boundary that runs on Interstate 90, and on Yellowstone River, Trail Creek, Goose Creek and GallatinYellowstone River, walked corner by corner in its hunting district legal descriptions. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.
High ground inside the line: Mount Chisholm, Ramshorn Peak and Twin Peaks
Named high points inside the unit include Mount Chisholm at 10,312 feet, Ramshorn Peak at 10,274 feet, Twin Peaks at 10,164 feet, Fridley Peak at 10,127 feet and Steamboat Mountain at 10,032 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Moose want willow, water and shade, and they rarely leave the drainage that has all three.
Holding ground: Tom Miner Basin, Morrison Gulch and Bozeman Pass
Below them sit Tom Miner Basin at 5,739 feet, Morrison Gulch at 5,716 feet, Bozeman Pass at 5,713 feet, Big Draw at 5,674 feet and Tie Gulch at 5,319 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past on the way to somewhere steeper. Work out which of them you can see from one position before you pick a camp.
Water: Sunny Brook Spring and LaDuke Spring
Named sources include Sunny Brook Spring and LaDuke Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
