Mt Lion Hunting

Southern Idaho has a denser Mt lion population than most hunting areas and is our best choice for a Mt Lion hunt.

Wolf & Bobcat

North Idaho has higher numbers of wolf and bobcat. If you are interested in a hunting and trapping adventure for Wolf, Lion, and Bobcat that would be a better choice.

Coyote Hunting

There are plenty of coyotes in all areas of Idaho. There is no additional fee to hunt coyotes and no tag is required.

Hunting Methods

The most successful method is to travel mountain roads in 4x4 truck, ATV, or snowmobile while watching for fresh cougar tracks. Bearpaw has all modern equipment to increases your odds of success.

Hunting Strategy

Bearpaw prefers to find the best cat possible. When tracks are found or when cats are treed your guide will tell you the approximate size and it's your choice to take the cat or pass it and search for a different cat.

Areas & Terrain

This Idaho area is mostly 5500' to 8000' elevation with more than 700 square miles of hunting territory to search for your cat.

Seasons & Regs

Lion season is Dec 1 to Mar 31, but is best Dec thru Feb. Licenses are available "ONLINE", or over the counter when you arrive. Proof of Hunter Ed is required if born after Jan 1, 1975. See the hunting "REGULATIONS".

Trophy Quality

Big mature tom mountain lions can weigh 140 pounds or more and measure 8 to 9 feet when skinned. Bearpaw Outfitters have taken dozens of record size cougar. The largest scaled 205 pounds, measured 9 1/2 feet, scored 15 11/16, and was the P&Y World Record.

Opportunities

When conditions are good the odds of finding lion tracks is usually close to 100%. Wolf or coyote can also be taken if seen. Local waters offer trout fishing and your hunt license includes 3 days fishing.

Guiding & Lodging

Hunts are guided 1x1. If you want two hunters per guide you can double your hunt days for the same price per hunter. Lodging and meals are included with your hunt.

Driving Directions

Our southern Idaho location is only one hour from Pocatello. More specific driving directions will be sent to you before the hunt.

Airport Info

Fly to Salt Lake City, get an economy rental car, it's only a 2 or 3 hour drive on paved highway from the airport to our location.

Airline Tickets

Buy changeable airline tickets, so if weather is looking bad we can change your hunt dates to a better time, or you may kill early and then you could leave early if desired.

Itinerary

Arrive about 4pm the day before your hunt begins. Plan to hunt the duration of the hunt and plan to depart the morning after your hunt ends. Call Dale just before the hunt to confirm weather conditions.

Weather Conditions

Hunting is best when there's fresh snow on the ground or in the forecast during the hunt, we would rather postpone your hunt than have you come if weather conditions are going to be bad.

Trophy Care

Guides will skin your trophy and save any lion meat you may want, it's very good eating. After IDFG seals the hide Bearpaw can deliver to an experienced taxidermist or you can take it home.

Transporting Trophies

To take trophies home by plane, buy a 30 to 50 quart cooler, shipping tape, and black marker. Freeze overnight in cooler, tape the lid, mark with name, address, phone, and check-in as extra baggage.

What's Not Included

Your personal gear, sleeping bag, meat processing, shipping, taxidermy, license and tags, 6% state sales tax, motels, fees before or after your hunt, gratuities to staff, and any items not listed as being included.
