mountain lion hunts

Our mountain lion hunts are action-packed, high-energy hunts suitable for all age ranges and physical abilities. We are fortunate to have a year-round season with no quotas. Therefore, all you need is a hunting license. We have been breeding our own line of dogs for more than 10 years, and we are truly committed to having the best pack of big game hounds in the country.

Having the ability to hunt and train hounds all year long is what separates us from anyone else. No matter the conditions, we have proven we can tree mountain lions any day out of the year. Snow or dry ground, wind and rain, we have treed lions and harvested trophies in some of the toughest conditions known. We are fortunate to hunt some of the most beautiful mountains in the country that are chock full of lions.

 FAQs

  • During a mountain lion hunt, expect an early start and a physically demanding day. The hounds will pick up the scent of a lion and lead the way through rugged terrain. Once the lion is treed or cornered, you will have the opportunity to take a shot. Our guides will be with you throughout the hunt, providing expertise and ensuring safety.

  • Yes, mountain lion hunting with hounds is generally safe when conducted by experienced guides. Safety is our top priority. Our guides are knowledgeable about lion behavior and the terrain, and they provide thorough instructions and support throughout the hunt.

  • The best time for mountain lion hunting is during the winter months. Snow on the ground helps the hounds track the lions more effectively, and the cooler weather makes for a more comfortable hunting experience. However, if you want to avoid the snow and colder temps, we have amazing dirt which makes for viewing some incredible dog work trailing lions spring, summer, and fall.

  • A typical mountain lion hunt can last from one to several days, depending on the success of the hounds in locating and treeing a lion. Our guides aim to provide a thorough and rewarding hunting experience, with the duration tailored to your preferences and goals.

  • Yes, we offer combination hunts. You can add a bobcat to a mountain lion hunt for an additional charge. This option allows you to pursue multiple predators on the same trip, enhancing the overall adventure. You can also combine and elk hunt because we have a year long lion season. This is an effective way to harvest both species the same week.

  • After a successful hunt, you can choose to have the mountain lion mounted by a taxidermist or keep the hide as a trophy. Our guides can assist with field dressing the animal and preparing it for transport to a taxidermist.

  • It is super easy to obtain a mountain lion tag. All you need is a valid Utah hunting license. No mountain lion tag is required at this time. Only a valid hunting license.
