Lion Hunts
Lion Hunts are conducted
with hounds from four wheel drive, or snow mobile depending
on conditions. Success in lion hunting is tied very closely to
the weather more so than any other type of hunting that we
know
of. The best lion hunting conditions occur when we have good
snow cover in the area. Most years, December, January and
February
are the best months although the season is open from January
1-March 31. If re-opens after Thanksgiving through December
31. The cost
for these hunts is $2800 with $1400 deposit. If we are not successful
in the first seven days, additional hunting days can be arranged.
Clients who can be flexible with the schedule or can come on
short notice will have the greatest chance of success.
Clients are housed and fed
in our home for the duration of the lion hunt. We leave early
in the morning to track the animals in the surrounding mountains.
We hunt game management units 80, 81, 82, 68, 79 and 681. We cover
a lot of country on lion hunts. Lion tags are available over the
counter and the cost is $250.25 for non-residents and resident
tags are $30.25. A mountain lion is a once in a liftime trophy
for most hunters. As with most predators, they are difficult to
find and sometimes hard to catch but we have excellent hounds
and have enjoyed good success.
