Cougar Hunts...Take the adventure of a lifetime with the professional and experienced staff at Idaho Whitetail Guides. With a fresh snowfall and crispness in the air, the hunt is on. Hunting Mountain Lion in the snow behind a pack of well trained dogs is a hunt you will never forget.
Cougar hunting season runs August 30th to March 31. The best hunting usually occurs after a fresh snow in December, January, or February. Our operating area contains 450+ square miles of beautiful national forest and privately owned lands. In 2022, we expanded our cougar hunting area even more! Seven (7) day hunts are the most successful when hunting for your perfect mountain lion. Owner and operator of Idaho Whitetail Guides scored his first cougar at just 12 years of age and continues to track mountain lion with some of the best dogs in the country. With utmost respect for these animals and their continued legacy, Idaho Whitetail Guides prefers to hunt male cougar. With over 20 years of experience we can estimate sex and weight of a cougar by their tracks or by looking at the animal once treed. Male cougars have an average weight from 90 to 175 pounds or more and usually skin out from 7 to 8 1/2 feet in length. Come enjoy one of the most exhilarating hunts you'll ever experience. Successful cougar hunting involves traveling mountain roads with 4x4, ATV, or snowmobile until we find a fresh track. The guides may also hike into remote areas looking for tracks when necessary. Once a good set of fresh tracks are located, our highly trained BearPath-Plott Hounds are released to pursue and tree the animal. Because the hounds can cover so much country, your Idaho Whitetail Guides professional will keep you with the vehicle until the cat is bayed up, then will try to get you as close as possible before hiking in to get to the cat. Plan to arrive the day before and depart the day after the dates of the hunt. Hunt Options: $7800--7 Day hunt 1 on 1 + Tag, License and 6% State Tax *Families & non-hunters welcome (with small fee) Note: Individuals born after January 1, 1975 must complete a hunter education course to purchase an Idaho hunting license OR show proof of a previously held valid hunting license in Idaho or another state.
