Utah Cougar & Mountain Lion Hunts
We are one of the most successful cougar operations in the world. Between myself and my guides we have helped over 2,000 clients fulfill their dream of harvesting a Trophy Mountain Lion.
We are not lion hunters, we are lion catchers. Our lives have been dedicated to raising, training and improving our strain of Big Game Hounds. Until you have watched a pack of hounds working a track you will never fully understand the passion of a houndsman watching a good dog work.
Over the years our clients have harvested more record book lions than any other Outfitter in history. Our clients hold many of the top rankings in SCI. B & C, and P & Y record books. Recently Our good friend and client, Tom Teague, harvested the New World Record lion with a muzzleloader breaking our previous record held by Don Perrin.
Most of our cougar hunting is from November thru May. Each year we achieve nearly 100% success. We have some areas and reservations where we are able to hunt lion year round. We conduct Springtime, dry ground hunts as well as winter snow hunts. Our hounds are trained to catch lion no matter the conditions, ensuring that we continue to be the most successful Cougar Outfitter in the west!
Come with us and follow our pack of well-trained hounds as they track one of these elusive big cats through the West’s most scenic country.

Dale B from New Hampshire. Dale’s father read him a story in Outdoor Life Magazine when he was a little boy about lion hunting. Since that day it’s been a life dream. He still has the magazine that started that dream. #WLH #WLH2019 #huntWLH #KUIU #BARNESBULLETS #CRISPIBOOTS #MTNOPS #SWAROVSKI #OUTDOOREDGE #GOALZERO #PHONESKOPE #HUNTERNATION #STEALTHCAM #4K #SILENCERCO #STRONGLIKESHAWN #MtnLion
Congrats @ktw10 on her great lion! Katherine’s father the great Hank Williams Jr wanted her to wear the same coat her mother was wearing when she harvested her big lion! Just like Hank sings about, Katherine carried out that “FAMILY TRADITION” Katherine also had her family out during her hunt to share her experience with! They stayed at Castle Valley Outdoors and had a fantastic time! #WLH #WLH2018 #huntWLH #HuntWLH #KUIU #BARNESBULLETS #CRISPIBOOTS #MTNOPS #SWAROVSKI #PHONESKOPE #OUTDOOREDGE #GOALZERO #mtnlion
