Quick Tips
If you're hunting public land, just south of Lake Sakakawea on the National Grasslands is your best option
North of the Missouri River provides some excellent opportunities = you'll have to get lucky on public access, though = permission on private property is recommended
If you're up for a good hike, take Road 8 south of Stanley and try the State Trust Lands near the Little Knife River
State Trust Lands may be closed to hunting if livestock are present
If you’re lucky enough to draw in unit M11, there’s some exceptional opportunities in a lot of areas of this large unit. There is a good amount of public access areas, providing hunters with excellent options to hunt throughout the unit. North Dakota’s moose range extends across all of this unit north of the Missouri River, and some large portions of the unit south of the river. If you’re hunting public access south of the Missouri River, stick to the Little Missouri National Grasslands near where the Missouri River flows into Lake Sakakawea for your best opportunities.
Recent Game and Fish Department surveys indicate that North Dakota’s highest moose population exists in the upper Missouri River area near Williston.
