I’m staring to do some scouting to do a moose hunt next year and I noticed there is no moose season in 305. Am I reading it wrong or not looking in the right spot in the regulations? If there is no season anyone know why. Thanks and a happy thanksgiving to everyone.

I've hunted there 3 yrs in row and never seen one. Seen some in 304 though.

There is no season for moose in 305. Unless you are indigenous.

There is your answer mulie.

305 Moose are "Reserved" for the Piikani and Kainai Nations.

Is this true?

400 will be 25 years before we know it. Better look elsewhere.

A good portion of Alberta doesn’t have a moose season. The reason is bio’s don’t believe the population can sustain a hunt. For the most part start putting in for draws or bow hunt where there is an archery season

Been years since I have hunted 305 but I have seen moose there in the past

Always surprised me that 305 doesn’t have a moose hunt , can’t say I’m to familiar with 305 actually, but have seen a ton of moose just to the north in 304

Thanks all I was just curious, I have a spot picked out in 400 for next year just need to do some more scouting. Might have a look at 304 as well. It’s fun just to get out and have a look.

If you have the 18 years of priority For 400, I’m not sure I would burn it for 304. Just my opinion.

You have a good point Matt I have a 23 priority, so might be best to stick to 400.

I'd stick to 400 as well.

400 is your best bet with that priority, dont waste it on 304. At least in 400 you wont get drawn just to be denied permission on private land

Well, you will have lots of time to have fun looking while you build up priority for many years. Takes forever to draw a moose tag in the south.

Back in early 2000's or so I hunted 304 and 305 every year for years, both bow and rifle, and in all those years I saw one bull moose. And I believe 305 was about a 12 year draw at that time.
