We offer a few different ways for you to hunt Mountain Lion.  
Our most popular hunt is done horseback with hounds
through the Gila Wilderness.  Anyone wanting to experience
a spectacular scenic hunt through what was to become the
first Wilderness Area in America should definitely do this
hunt. The Gila Wilderness Area was designated the first
Wilderness Area for good reason.  It has some of the most
spectacular scenery of anywhere on earth.  The mountain
peaks reach elevations over 10,000 feet with canyons that
you can literally look 1,000 feet straight down.  The Gila
Wilderness has three major river systems with multiple trout
male Mountain Lions typically weigh 150 to 200 lbs and can
grow up to 10 feet in length.
Our ranch house is located directly in the middle of the Gila and Aldo Leupold Wilderness's along the East
Fork of the Gila River.  On this Mountain Lion hunt you will stay here at our ranch house and hunt Lions either
with myself or one of my guides.  You will have a comfortable bed, hot shower and home cooked meals
everyday.  Each day of your Cougar hunt you will be fed a good hot breakfast put on your trusty stead and
professionally guided behind a great pack of dry ground lion hounds.
We also offer a Mountain Lion hunt for those of you who
prefer not to ride a horse.  This Cougar hunt is done from 4x4
trucks driving through Mountain Lion country.  Often during
of snow.  On this Lion hunt you simply sit in the comfort of a
truck and look for Mountain Lion tracks in the snow.  When a
Lion track suiting your interest is discovered the hounds are
released and the chase begins.  This can be a very
demanding hunt as Lions tend to live in steep, rocky terrain.  
Add some snow to steep rocky terrain and.... you get the point.
We also offer a dry ground 4x4 Mountain Lion hunt.  Because
we have very cold nosed dry ground hounds we are able to
find Mountain Lions by letting the hounds sniff for scent from
the truck.  This is known as "Rig Hunting".  You drive around
in a truck through areas where Cougars are common and wait
for the hounds to "open" or bark.  These very well trained lion
hounds can often smell a two day old track while riding in the
back of the truck.  This is the Lion Hunt that I recommend for
those of you who are not in outstanding physical condition.
Often this Mountain Lion hunt takes place in areas that are relatively flat and easy to walk.  The deserts of
New Mexico and Arizona harbor a great number of Mountain Lion.
