Mountain Lion Hunting - Belt, Montana

Hunting mountain lions is radically different than hunting for elk, deer or bear. Your day begins as early as 3:00 am. You’ll have a light breakfast and join our houndsmen who will instruct you on how to “cut” a track. Tracking a mountain lion involves driving or snowmobiling through a myriad of US Forest Service and private timber company roads, using spotlights mounted to the cat truck, and trying to eyeball a track from many yards away. Once a track is found, dogs are put on it to see if it carries a scent–if it's after day break.
