Most big game in Nevada starts with a draw. Mountain lion doesn’t. Lion tags are sold over the counter and are good statewide, and you can hold 2 per calendar year. The season is open year-round, so a lion hunt can be planned around your schedule instead of a draw result.

Why Hounds

Lions cover a lot of country and are rarely seen on their own. We hunt them behind our hounds. The dogs pick up a track, stay with it through rough country, and put the cat up a tree or on a bay. Then the hunters walk in. Our hounds are bred here in Pioche for grit, drive, tracking ability, and heart, because a lion track tests all four.

Why Winter

The season is open all year, but the best lion hunting is in winter, on snow. Fresh snow shows a track clearly, tells you how old it is, and lets the dogs and the hunters stay on it. That’s when we prefer to run lions.

What the Hunt Includes

Guiding, summer scouting, trail camera work, and field care are included. Trailers, wall tents, and meals are available at extra cost. Tags, license, travel, taxidermy, and processing aren’t included. Check current license and tag prices on our tags and licenses page.
