Wyoming Mountain Lion Hunts

Mountain Lion hunting in Wyoming is one the most sought-after, exciting, free-ranging trophy game animals in the world to pursue with hounds. Mature toms are wary, extremely cagey, and can make for a very challenging hunt.

The mountains and plains of western Wyoming are famous for producing trophy-class toms and are home to one of the greatest lion populations in the world. There are several factors specific to our areas that allow our lions to grow and reach their genetic potential at maturity. These factors include ample game for them to hunt, outstanding genetics, and fabulous habitat.

Our Lodge lies within the boundaries of areas 14 & 17, which allows us easy access and the ability to hunt some of the best areas in Wyoming for mountain lions.
