What to expect on your Mountain Lion Hunt:
· Hunts start early in the morning. Me or one of the guides will pick hunters up at hotel at designated time.
· We will look for tracks in 4-wheel-drive pickups, UTVs, or snow machines specifically set up for our style of hunting.
· Once a suitable track is found, hounds are released. Once lion is caught/treed, we will find the best access point to location of the lion.
· Once at the tree, a guide or I will determine trophy caliber and advise hunter on best way to dispatch the animal.
· After animal has been dispatched me or one of my guides will get the animal to your vehicle so you can take it to a processor or taxidermist or both.
· After harvest, hunt is considered over.
· We will ensure your arrival at airport if needed.
