  • Ira is a true houndsman through and through. His entire life is dedicated to training and caring for his dogs.
  • From as early as ten years old, he knew he wanted to be an outfitter. Ira has over 10-years of experience as a licensed guide, Outfitter and Master Guide for various big game animals in Idaho, Arizona, Wyoming and Nevada.
  • However his true passion has always been mountain lion hunting. He has spent over fifteen years working on his bloodlines to have the fastest, cold-nosed, and well tempered hounds possible. All genetics go back to dry ground dogs from the southwest. For Ira, the drive comes from nurturing a young pup and working with him to come into his own and eventually catching his own lion.
