Before You Apply
Not Once In A Lifetime Here
Alaska puts no lifetime limit on moose tags.
Winning a moose permit does not bar you later. The exceptions are hunt-specific: the Koyukuk Controlled Use Area cannot be drawn two years running, some either/or hunt pairs exclude each other, and youth hunts YM763 and YM765 are one per lifetime.

- Limit
- No lifetime limit
- Nonresident Share
- There is no statewide nonresident cap; moose caps are set hunt by hunt, and a nonresident needs no guide for moose.
- Tag Fee
- Due only if drawn
- You pay the tag only if you draw.

Show all 51 huntsWhat These Columns Mean
- Odds —
- the share of first-choice applicants who drew this tag in the 2025 draw. Not a forecast: quotas and demand move every year. A badge marked * had under five tags, so one applicant either way swings it.
- Tags / apps —
- tags on offer and first-choice applicants for them, as the agency published them.
- Success —
- the share of hunters in the unit who killed an animal, from the latest harvest report on file. It is the whole unit's figure, not the hunt's.
- Private land, RFW, ranch, youth —
- tags not every hunter can use: private-land-only hunts need landowner access, ranch hunts (Colorado's Ranching for Wildlife, Utah's CWMUs) come with access to one ranch, youth tags have an age limit. They are never best bets and never colour the map.

Each unit has its own page: where it is on the map, how much of it is public land, what the hunters who went there killed last season, and every license type you can apply for inside it.

About These Numbers
Every percentage here is the chance any applicant had in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results; quotas and applicant numbers change every year. A dash means the agency did not publish the number. Under five tags the percentage is flagged: one applicant either way swings it. Check the agency's site and apply there; we don't take applications. How we compute these.
