Mountain Lion Hunt Excitement

Ever been face to face with a huge deer-killing machine? If you've
never tried lion hunting, you haven't experienced the meaning of
excitement! Nothing in the outdoors compares to the superior disdain in
the eyes of a cougar as his gaze catches yours.
Every outdoorsman
should meet that look, and we are the best at providing you with that
opportunity. Our mountain lion hunts are with hound dogs, which is the
most productive and exciting way to hunt these animals. Once a lion
track is cut, the hounds are turned out and the race is on. You're in
for the thrill of a lifetime when you hear the hounds open up and start
gaining ground on the big cat. Once they jump the lion, you'll hear the
excitement in the hounds as they put the pressure on until the cat
trees.
You'll need to be in top condition with a cool head
because things usually get very exciting at the tree. Since most
hunters have never been 10 feet from an angry lion, your adrenaline
will be pumping like never before, so making a good shot can test the
best shooter's abilities.
The Lion Hunt
Our quality Utah mountain lion outfitter is offering a special
unbelievably low-priced mountain lion hunt of $2000 if booked before
December 31, 2005. The price will increase to $3000 on Jan.
1. Most mountain lion hunts sell for around $3500. The
$2000 price will be valid for any hunt booked before Dec. 31 and the
hunt can occur in late 2005, early 2006, late 2006 or even early
2007. This hunt is a 7-day fully guided lion hunt.
Everything (including home cooked meals) is included except for the
motel (~$40/night) and license (~$258). And don't let the low
price make you think the hunt isn't a quality hunt. It is and the
outfitter is one of the best lion outfitters in Utah.
Hunting Area and Method
Our outfitter hunts a huge area of National Forest and BLM land in
southern Utah. He has 3-4 different well-trained packs of dogs
consisting of approx. 30 animals so you don't need to worry about some
of the dogs getting tired and not being able to hunt. The dogs
and desert conditions allow dry land hunting in addition to tracking on
snow. Dry land hunting is a big advantage because you don't have
to rely on good snow conditions like most lion outfitters. The
outfitter also has several guides working for him who will drive the
roads separately and then contact the outfitter via radio when a track
is found. You won't find a harder working outfitter than this one.
Licenses and Season
Mountain lion licenses can be obtained over the counter for $258
(nonresident). The season goes from approx. Nov. 1 to June
1. Some of the hunts are already booked so contact us for open
dates.
Success Rates and Trophy Quality
Last year our outfitter was 100% successful with 80% of the animals
taken being large toms. Our outfitter tries not to shoot females
unless a hunter insists on it. The toms averaged 150-160 lb.
which is a very high average and one of the toms was 180 lb. Most
all toms taken exceed the Pope & Young minimum. Any weapon
can be used.
Closing
The hunt is so good and the price so low, a buddy and I are planning on
booking our own hunts this winter. Don't miss out on this
opportunity. With the pressure from the antihunters, we will not
be able to hound hunt lions forever. Now is your chance to
harvest a lion at an incredible price.
This hunt will be arranged through Huntn & Fishn Biz. To
