One of our Favorites! These hunts take place from December thru February. They are conducted with the use of 4 x 4, ATV, UTV, and snow machines. This mountain lion hunt is a one on one hunt with multiple packs of hounds and hounds-men to accommodate multiple hunters. During the hunt it can get very cold while on the snow machine but then it can get hot while on foot tracking the mountain lion. Depending on the year it can get down to -20 degrees so it is important that you bring enough clothes to accommodate the weather change, from snow, ice or sleet. Please expect a rigorous hike, we can not pick control where the mountain lion goes. We will use snow machine to get as far as we safely can.
Rick Wemple has established himself as one of the West's foremost Lion Guides. The Cougar Hunts run in December through April. The Cougar population is at an all time high. I use dogs for the chase on these big cats, snowmobiles, 4-wheel drive vehicles, and snowshoes for transportation on these hunts. Everything except your own personal lodging, and license is furnished. We recommend the use of a handgun or archery on a cougar hunt.

Looking for a Mountain Lion Hunt in Idaho? We have a few different options! There is nothing more rugged and awesome than Idaho’s back country in the dead of winter, a perfect time to experience an epic hunt for one of the most elusive and sought after western trophies. These can be very physically demanding hunts in some very rough country. Inclimat conditions are the norm and can both make things easier and more difficult. Although when hunting with us it is not vital, fresh snow can be a huge advantage for cutting tracks. At the same time snow can make it difficult for you to traverse this mountainous country. The better shape you are in the better your odds. The thrill of the chase and the cry of the hounds are some of the most rewarding and memorable aspects of any western hunt you could ask for. Something any hunter willing and able should experience at least once in their lifetime. When hunting free range nothing is guaranteed, but most of our lion hunts have very near 100% success. We do some of the hunts ourselves as well as can hook you up with a few select reputable houndsman and top lion outfitters in Idaho. Our goal is for you to have an awesome Idaho experience.
