Mountain lions are hunted with a pack of hounds that have been personally trained by Borderland Outfitters. You can expect to travel in trucks and on ATVs as well as on horses or mules and by foot. We will be looking for tracks and waiting for hounds to pick up scent. This is one of the most thrilling hunts you will ever take! This is a 5 day fully guided 1:1 hunt. Option for a non-hunter. This hunt price is for GUIDE ONLY ON PUBLIC LAND. Option to have a full guided hunt including meals and lodging for an additional charge. Hunter must select that option below.
