Winter mountain lion hunts are the perfect offseason opportunity for big game hunters. With a hunting season spanning December through March, Sawtooth Wilderness Outfitters is the premier guide for those chasing the extremely elusive mountain lion. Since these cats are seldom seen in the wild, hunting them requires a pack of well-trained hounds. Their dogs are the best in the business. On top of all that, Sawtooth Wilderness Outfitters has exclusive commercial mountain lion hunting rights in more than 350 square miles in the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains.
To optimize your time during the hunt, guides use 4-wheel drive vehicles and snowmobiles to traverse the terrain, radios for communication, and dog tracking equipment to keep up with the hounds. Occasionally, they’ll hire another highly qualified guide to assist in the hunt so that you can cover more ground and increase your chance of success. Bobcats can be combined with this hunt. License and tags are sold over the counter, and the Sawtooth Wilderness Outfitter team will gladly assist you in purchasing them.
