Description

Alberta dominates the record books when it comes to Cougars and there is no better place to go if a giant Tom is on the wish list. The current cougar population is estimated to be between 2,500 and 3,000 animals, and the province only allows 26 non-resident hunters per year ensuring high quality hunting. These cougar hunts take place starting in January and run through the end of March. This outfitter only takes 4 cougar hunts per year, 2 per cougar management area (CMA) and they have the exclusive hunting rights to these areas for non-resident hunters. This hunting area is in the southwestern part of Alberta along the Montana and British Columbia borders. The cats in this area feed primarily on deer, Rocky Mountain Elk, and Bighorn Sheep. Since they have such a healthy prey animal population, we have a healthy cougar population. This is a fully guided 7 day hunt with options for a 10 day hunt for an additional charge.

          Description

          All of these cat hunts are done with hounds, and the outfitter has two different guides that are both world-class houndsmen and each one runs the hunts in their specific CMA. These guides love hunting cats and will do everything in their power to find hunters the trophy they are looking for. The hunter and their guide will get up first thing every morning and search the area for fresh lion tracks. This may be done in a pickup truck or on a snowmobile depending on the location and the weather conditions. If the guide is able to locate a trophy-sized track, the hounds will be released and the hunt will be on! Please note that these hunts are more physically demanding than most guys expect, so please come ready to hike! Since the shooting distance will be short-range, the outfitter prefers hunters to use one of their guns so that hunters can avoid the hassles of traveling across the border with a firearm. The outfitter gives hunters a choice of a 7-day hunt or a 10-day hunt. Please also note that these hunts are very weather dependent and we will reschedule your hunt dates if it appears the weather will not be optimal during your scheduled time. There is no extra cost for this as it is part of their service to ensure you get the trophy cat your looking for.

          Transportation (To/From Basecamp)

          Hunters are responsible for travel arrangements to the hunting camp. You can either fly into Lethbridge, Alberta where we will arrange to have you picked up, or you can fly into Great Falls, Montana, and then rent a car and drive from there. Hunters will need to arrange flying in the day before your hunt starts and flying out the day after it ends.
