Predator Hunting

Predator and varmint hunting offers a unique adrenaline rush and often plays a role in wildlife management. These hunts can vary greatly, from fast-paced calling setups to physically demanding hound-assisted pursuits in rugged terrain. Our consultants understand the nuances of these hunts and will match you with experienced guides who employ ethical and effective methods.

• North American Predator Hunts: We connect hunters with top-tier outfitters across the United States and Canada for species including:

  • Coyote: Abundant opportunities across many states (e.g., Texas, Arizona, Montana), often hunted by calling.
  • Wolf: Pursue these apex predators in states where seasons are established, such as Idaho and Montana, as well as in Canada. Hunts can involve calling, baiting, or spot and stalk.
  • Mountain Lion (Cougar): Experience the excitement of a hound-assisted hunt in rugged Western states like Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, Colorado, and others.
  • Bobcat: Often hunted with hounds, sometimes in conjunction with lion hunts or via calling.
  • Fox (Red & Grey): Pursued through calling or as part of mixed-bag predator hunts.

• International Predator & Varmint Hunts: Explore unique opportunities for specific predator/varmint species in select international destinations, such as:

  • Africa: Specialized hunts for species like Jackal, Caracal, and sometimes Hyena (where distinct from dangerous game safaris), often involving nocturnal calling or hunting over bait.
  • Other destinations may offer hunts for various furbearers or regionally specific predators, depending on local regulations and outfitter availability.

• Diverse Hunting Methods: Depending on the target species and region, hunts may involve calling (mouth or electronic), spot and stalk, hunting over bait, hound-assisted pursuits (especially for felines), and trapping (where legal and offered).

Brye Mangum / OI Draw Winner

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
