The hunt will be conducted by the means of mules, trucks, and hiking with the help of well trained/bred mountain lion hounds.

Your trophy will be skinned for you and hide packed out. Packing out meat is not required by law nor is it recommended for consumption.

If a lion is not harvested during your hunt you are more than welcome to return and hunt for free, if time allows for the legal hunting season of your licensed tag.


Hunt will be conducted by guide and houndsman, Mike Bency and he will hunt extremely hard for you to take home that once in a life time trophy. Mike hunts lions year round, this is a life style for him, not a hobby.

Why is eating the meat not recommended? I've had it before, it's excellent.

I thought the old mountain men considered them a delicacy.

Where in New Mexico?

Its not recommended to my personal preference. You have to prepare it just right or you can contract triganosis. I'd rather eat beef.

Were basing our hunts in the SE and SW part of NM. From the deserts to the high mountains, which would be 4500-9500 elevation

Heres a great video of a lion hunt from last year.

Wow, that cat fell a long ways.

Mountain lion meat is some of the best there is, I've eaten it the last 3 years and I promise you it's good stuff.

TNT,

How did you prepare yours?

Skeeter22,

That tom fell roughly 400ft.

The hams I like to do as a roast, simply debone it and season to our liking. Put it in a crock pot with vegtables and seasoning and let it cook. I like to take the back straps and trim the muscle out that runs down the center then either cut into slices, tenderise and chicken fry or cut it into strips, wrap it in bacon with jalapeño pepper jack cheese and onoin and throw it on the BBQ pit. The only thing I've ever done with the front shoulders is make jerky and summer sausage. Give it a try sometime, I'd bet you like it. It has the color and texture of pork but a flavor all it's own!

TnT,

Thanks for the recipe ideas. Ill have to try that. Last time I ate it was over a skillet with out any spices or additives.

Ive had a few people ask how physically demanding is this hunt. And to answer that...The first couple of days will be somewhat difficult due to acclimating and after that you can expect to cover 15-20 miles off of mules/horses, and anywhere between 2-7 miles on foot depending on the hunting techniques and situation. But on the other hand we get real lucky and a hunter only walks 200 yards to a tree/bay up on his first day...

First week of February is now booked. Still have 3 spots left for February. This is a great month to hunt mountain lions so don't pass up your chance.

Ive had a few people call and ask if these hunts are "1 X 1 hunts" and yes they are.
The only time they will be 2 X 1 is if you book a hunt with your buddy. The max per 5 Day hunt is two hunters.
