Idaho Mountain Lion Hunt

Hunt Description

Supurb mountain lion hunts are offered during the months of December, January, February and March when conditions are right. Cougar hunts run five days with two guides per hunter. This outfitter has two mountain lion hunting areas: one is a snowmobile hunt out of a lodge and the other is a fly-in wilderness hunt on horses. Hunting is with hounds and can sometimes be very physical with the pursuit being on snowshoes or walking thru deep snow. Cougar populations are high and mountain lion hunting success is in the high 90% range. During this hunt you will see large amounts of wintering game and enjoy the solitude of the quiet winter. Mule deer, elk, moose, wolves and bighorn sheep all winter here. Mountain lion hunting dates are set upon booking. This outfitter only takes 5 to 6 cougar hunters total for the season, so book early.

For the lodge hunt, you will be picked up at the airport and they will take you in on snow machines. Good hot meals and the warmth of a wood stove will make the cold winter evenings quit enjoyable. The wilderness fly-in cougar hunt is quite an adventure! A guide will meet you at the airport where you will fly into a backcountry airstrip. A second guide will meet you at the strip with the horses. From there you will ride just over a mile to the base camp. You will hunt out of camp in the mornings on horseback and on foot looking for fresh cougar tracks. A bonus in this area is that it is a two mountain lion unit, meaning that for an extra trophy fee you can take a second cougar.

Ratings & Testimonials

Average Rating For This Hunt

“These are two very different hunts. The lodge hunt is on snowmobiles and is a bit easier. The fly-in wilderness hunt is a true horseback adventure. Be prepared on both hunts for gruelling hikes and long days. They have gotten some true monster cats over the years.”
