This is a very relaxing hunt. The scenery is great and you should see plenty of other wildlife, so bring your camera.  Transportation is by vehicle, but you should expect to do some walking on all hunts.  All food, lodging, guides, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are furnished for the hunt.  You provide your personal gear, sleeping bag, rifle or bow, license, meat processing, taxidermy fees and transportation here and back.  We take care of the rest.

We run our Montana lion hunts from our ranch in the Bitterroot Valley where you stay in our guest cabin with family-style meals provided. These enjoyable hunts offer you spectacular winter scenery as well as a wide variety of wildlife on its winter range–a real photographic opportunity. Satisfied hunters are our best advertisement, so check out our references and let them tell you what our area is like and what kind of services we provide.

We hunt using 4-wheel drive vehicles and snowmobiles taking pride in our quality, well-trained hounds.  Since we follow lion hounds over mountainous terrain, these hunts are physically demanding and

good physical conditioning will make your hunt more enjoyable.  Both Montana and Idaho hunts run December through January.  You must have a $141.50 Idaho hunting license and a $31.75 lion tag.  We can obtain your license for you or you can obtain it from:
