Cougar

At Rival Outfitting Ltd., our passion for hounds and the sport of cat hunting fuels our Trophy Cougar Hunt. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of chasing North America’s largest cougars alongside skilled houndsmen and their hounds. We pride ourselves with having some of North America's biggest cougars, with average Toms weighing in between 150-170lbs and some even larger. The symphony of baying hounds, the crisp winter air, and the pursuit of a trophy Tom are the embodiment of this very rewarding hunt. With a deep respect for the craft and the wild, we invite you to join us in targeting the most formidable mountain lions roaming this rugged wilderness, creating memories that echo long after the chase.

8 Day - Courgar Hunt

Hunt dates run from December 1 - February 28

Our Trophy Cougar Hunt capitalizes on the healthy cougar population in the Christian Valley, where fresh tracks are numerous, though we selectively target mature, trophy-class male mountain lions. The hunt begins with our dedicated guides scouring cat country in the early morning hours, using trucks, ATVs, or snowmobiles to locate the desired track. Once a promising track is identified, our hounds are released to lead the chase, their instincts guiding them to tree the cougar. Hunters are then brought to the closest access point by snowmobile or ATV and escorted on foot to the treed cat, with approaches ranging from 100 yards to a couple of miles. While hunters may choose to ride along during the track-finding phase, some opt to stay warm at our lodge when snow is deep, letting our team pinpoint the perfect track. With a minimum of one houndsman/guide and one track finder per hunter, we ensure a personalized, high-success hunt that balances adventure with comfort in the heart of cougar country.

For added excitement, hunters can carry tags for these add-on species on a trophy fee basis- Lynx, Bobcat, Wolf.
