Area 37 is in the northwest corner of the state near Jackson Hole, and along the boundary of Yellowstone National Park. There is a decent sized population of moose with trophy quality found throughout this area.

Besides the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the famous Yellowstone National Park, hunters will find good opportunity at a decent bull moose. Better access to this area can be found out of Idaho.

The terrain in this area consists of the grassy valleys, where moose are likely to be found. There is a lot of highly mountainous terrain throughout this unit. Staying in the lower elevations of this unit will be a hunter’s best opportunity.

Wilderness

Under Wyoming law nonresidents are not permitted to hunt big game or trophy game in any federally designated wilderness areas without the presence of a licensed guide or resident companion. The resident companion must first get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds, small game, or coyotes in wilderness areas.

This area has limited vehicle access. Hunters can expect to spot and stalk, and walk drainages to hunt moose. Hunting with the use of horses can be helpful in this unit. It is necessary in about 80% of this unit for a nonresident to have a guide because it is in a designated wilderness area.

There is a variety of vegetation in this area where moose can be found. From ponds where moose browse for aquatic plants and graze on willows, to open territory. There are a lot of pine and aspen trees where moose take cover, along with serviceberry bushes that moose feed on.

Hunters can seek further accommodations or supplies in nearby towns of Jackson if necessary. Camping is permitted on most Forest Service land.
