Our hunts are five full hunting days beginning on December 1st with a maximum of one client per week. Snow is a very big factor and if clients can come on call or be flexible with their schedule the odds of harvest is increased greatly. If needed a day or two can be added on at the pro-rated cost. We start early in the morning driving roads in the dark looking for tracks. Once a track has been located we continue trying to freshen up and shorten the track. If we find a track then at daybreak we can put the hounds on the track and the fun begins! We utilize a custom build hound truck, snow mobiles, four-wheelers, and side by sides to get as close as we can to the treed cat. Please note, there is always some walking involved in a mountain lion hunt.

This northwest corner of Montana has some of the best black bear populations in the lower forty-eight states and opportunities for different color phases from jet black to cinnamon to chocolate are common. We have over 500 square miles of territory here on the Kootenai National Forest in our concession. All bear hunts are 100% fair chase which means no baiting and no running with dogs. The bears we harvest range from five to six and half feet from nose to tail and weigh an average of 200-lbs. Spring bear hunts are most popular and we like to hit the ground and put in the miles. We use all methods of traditional spot and stalk techniques and generally in the spring the bears are found at lower elevations. Upon leaving their dens they make for grass and clover which is their primary food source early in the year. This makes tracking sign a little easier since often times it puts them on logging roads, open meadows, and logged areas.

Wolf hunting in Montana is all about calling. Wolves are gregarious and respond very well to calling. Typically we’ll cover ground, howling often, in hopes of locating a pack or a solo animal. Once we locate animals, we’ll set up, continue howling, and hope they are curious enough to come closer believing there’s a stranger in their territory. Or, we will often employ predator calls since generally they will not pass up an easy meal and if nothing else, if they hear what they believe is a distressed deer, they will come looking.
