mountain lion

[neuse]

Where and how would a person start searching for a guided cat hunt, which state would be the best?

[Jesse Minish]

Idaho has some good cats and guides but so does most of the other western states. Good luck.

[neuse]

I googled this and of course there is to many to choose from.
Could somebody offer recommendation for a guide service they have used.

You might want to give Lloyd Nielson of Blanding ,Utah a call.(435-678-2838) I hunted with him last December and had a great hunt.I got my Lion on the last day of my hunt. You can also go to the other popular bow hunting site and check out the Mt. Lion forum. That's how I first heard about Lloyd. If you would like you can pm me for more info....Later...Greg

Don Schaufler out of Ennis Montana.  Shoot me a pm and if you are interested and I can get you his contact info.  He will only take mature toms and he will hunt as long as need be or as long as the weather is good for tracking.  No 5 day hunt and leave stuff.

Thought I get you psyched a bit! Before leaving South Tucson for TN. I shot this desert mountain cat. Turned out to be one of the oldest desert lions ever shot with a bow. AZ state game officials aged him at 12 1/2. Hunted with Layne Brandt and Ray McGee. Unfortunately, Layne died last year in an airplane crash but Ray may still be outfitting. The deal was you hunt until you shoot a cat. Cost was very reasonable. If you're  intersted, I may be able to get you a number.

[crazyhorse86]

Oh man, I would have to get a separate room just for this thing, really nice.

[cacciatore]

I love that mount Flatshooter,what about the story?

[shakeyslim]

gotta ask -------- why would ANYONE kill a mountain lion?
  :confused:

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Maybe try asking the wildlife biologists in the various game departments who issue lion tags; I'm sure they'd give you some good information and reasons why they allow a certain number to be killed each year.

[Daz]

Why?
Mmmmm...smoked lion hams, loins, steaks.
Cougar. The "other" white meat.

[Flatshooter]

Shakeyslim... No natural predators except man. They also have a significant negative impact on the whitetail and mule deer population. Playing a part in controlling the population and the incredible rush of the hunt is one reason, the smoked loins, I have to admit was also an incentive!

I used Garvey Bros Outfitters in Co.for my cat.
Also used him for an elk.Good guy,good food and he hunts hard,you better be in shape.
