When Is The Best Time To Hunt Mountain Lion

Mountain Lion Hunting With Hounds

Mountain lion hunting with hounds is a subject that leans itself toward polarity. People in the big city don’t understand it.  Folks from the country who grew up chasing the tail of their favorite hound, who in turn was chasing the tail of a lion, love it.   I made my first mountain lion tree

Hunting cougar with archery in Idaho

Idaho Mountain Lion Hunting

I realized a few days ago that I’d been hunting mountain lion in the mountains of Idaho for 28 years now.  No, I’m not that old, but the ol’ man expected a boy to be tough and not making it to a cougar tree even at a young age was unacceptable. Over the years I’ve
