Mountain Lion Hunt Special

Cleave & Becky Dwire, Owner
United States
Our company was established in 2008 and operates in 1 territory.
  • Nevada Department of Wildlife records reflect, that we consistently harvest more trophy mountain lions than any other guide service in the Silver State and are globally reknowned and recognized as some of the most successful mountain lion guides in the world. Our hunts are very personalized to each individual clients needs and desires and our guides are professional and personable in every way. We take a select number of serious sportsmen and women each year. We aim to keep each hunt 1 on 1 (1 guide per hunter) or 2 on 1 (2 guides per hunter) and strive to make each hunt memorable and as successful as possible.
  • For most mountain lion guide services, mountain lion hunting is a part time occupation to go along with their deer, elk, sheep and other big game hunts but we chose to master the art of successfully hunting lions, versus trying to be a jack of all trades, master at none as the old saying goes. That’s all we do, even on our days off we’re out hunting these same top predators, so we’re constantly keeping our dogs on the top of their game as well as ourselves.
  • We take pride in not only being concerned with our clients hunting experience and safety, as well as taking a major concern on what’s happening within the wildlife species we’re in pursuit of to the benefit of both the client and the species. What does this mean for your hunt? This means we’re striving to find you the most mature animal we can that will have passed on it’s superior genetics for years and is not as much of an asset to the gene pool, that means these animals are the fully matured to physically impressive size and are the type every hunter dreams to harvest while making room for new genetics and influence within the species to help maintain a sustainable population of quality animals for years to come.

About this hunt

The day typically starts by waking up at 4:00 am and we are leaving camp or town by 5:00 am, each client has his or her own guide with a pack of 10-12 seasoned hounds fitted with gps tracking collars, horses/mules,side-by-side 4x4 truck equipped with 2 way UHF radios for comunications etc.. The guide will begin looking for lion tracks that have crossed two track jeep trails, ranching and mining roads or horse and game trails that cross cut the large mountain ranges that the large predators call home . Once the guide or the hounds find the track , the guide will determine age of track and size and sex of the animal and will decide if it a animal we should pursue or not. We persue these predators by putting our hounds on the track. Most weeks there are two hunters in camp for the week, possibly three hunters. TEAM WORK After the first animal is harvested all efforts of the the guides with their hounds horses and equipment will be focused on getting the second hunter an animal. This becomes a team effort and has allowed us to harvest large numbers of exceptional lions over the decades of hunting we have under our belts. Whether it be snow or dry ground conditions, we are consistent in harvesting large numbers of trophy toms, even in the most difficult conditions. We credit this to thousands of hours afield in pursuit of these animals, exceptionally driven and talented dogs that have been selectively bred for one purpose; to surpass and surmount even the most difficult scenting conditions and terrain with ease, and the years of experience the pursuit of these incredibly tough animals have given us as guides to be able to handle any situation that may arise. Our snow hunts typically run from November 15- March 31st and our dry ground hunts can be conducted year round. Short notice hunts and last minute hunts are also welcome. Feel free to contact me at any time for openings.
