Idaho mountain lion hunting

Idaho Mountain Lion Hunt Report

Trip Taken: Idaho Mountain Lion, Wolf, Bobcat Combo Hunt
Consultant: Kyle Hanson | Outdoors International

February, 2020

We were able to harvest a great mountain lion on the fourth day of the hunt. Throughout the week we treed another cat and cut tracks on others before crossing paths with the big tom. We saw an abundance of wolf sign as well in this area. Expectations were met with a great animal. The mature tom was estimated at 140+ pounds and 14 3/4″ skull. The hunt itself was full of excitement in a beautiful area of Idaho.

This particular tom that was harvested happened to be the farthest lion harvested from the road in the outfitter’s history of hunting this area. It just so happened that he ran up canyon and treed very high up the drainage. It was a bit of a hike to get up to him. Once the big cat was harvested the houndsman packed him out on the long walk out. We will be doing a full body mount on this one. It was one for the books!

This houndsman was hands down among the best. His dogs were well trained and he worked harder than anyone could have asked for.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
