Hunt southwestern BC for trophy felines. Hunting is done by the use of dogs. Past clients have enjoyed 100% success rate with many record book cats taken.

This is a hunt where the chase leading up to the kill is as exciting as the kill itself! The outfitter only takes 2 mountain lions per year so book early to hold your spot. Hunts are typically held from December 1 – February 28. Can also add a bobcat or lynx for an additional fee – see below.

May use rifle, blackpowder or bow. If you thrill to the sound of hounds and want a big cat, this is your hunt.

All hunts are scheduled for 7 days but end when the animal(s) you are hunting is taken.

Hunters can fly into Cranbrook, B.C. and be met at the airport or fly into Kalispel, MT., rent a vehicle and drive 2 ½ hours to meet the outfitter. Another option is to fly into Spokane, WA and drive to meet the outfitter. Airfare at Spokane is usually more affordable.

License cost: Mountain lion $230; bobcat $40; lynx $40. All licenses subject to 12% tax.

This outfitter only takes 6 hunters a year. Two hunters can come at the same time and each will have their own guide and dogs. Private land hunt near Sheridan with 99% success rate the past five years.

This an exciting hunt starting with locating a fresh track, listening to the dogs work and then tree the cat. The guide and hunter work their way to the treed cat and determine if the cat is large enough to harvest or if another needs to be located.

Licenses are available over the counter. A hunter’s safety card is required if born on or after January 1, 1966. Airport pick-up and drop off provided by outfitter as is in the field transportation. Lodging is provided in a local motel - meals are not included.

Snow greatly increases the odds of success. This area normally has snow from Nov 15 on but waiting until early December is a safer bet.  Also the primary hunting area has an 18 cat quota - when the quota is hit, hunting is shut down. This normally happens in late December.

5 Day Hunt - $4300 (Nov. 15 through end of Dec.)

Hunt the beautiful Big Horn Mountains for North America’s largest feline. Hunting is done by dogs and hunters have enjoyed a 100% success rate with this outfitter. Hunt takes place on private ranches, national forest and BLM land.

Once a track is located in the snow, the hounds are set free and the end result is a cat in a tree. Many large cats have been taken.

The outfitter can handle up to two hunters at one time. Each hunter will have their own houndsman and dogs and hunt in a different area.

Snow greatly increases the odds of success. This area normally has snow from Nov 15 on but waiting until early December is a safer bet.  Wyoming units have a quota on harvested cats and once the quota is hit,  hunting is shut down for the season. This normally happens in late December on the east side of the Big Horn Mountains. This outfitter also hunts the west side of the Big Horns which rarely hits their quota but it is extremely rugged country consequently hunters must be in good shape to hunt the western side.

Includes guide (1 hunter/guide) lodging, meals, transportation during the hunt, delivery of mount to taxidermist, airport pick-up and drop-off (Sheridan airport).

5 Day Hunt - $4300 (Nov. 15 – through March). Licenses are available over the counter. Cost is $362 plus $12.50 conservation stamp. A hunter’s safety card is required if born on or after January 1, 1966.
