HUNT DETAILS:
Southern British Columbia has long been recognized as one of North America’s premier destinations for mountain lion hunting. This concession consistently produces big, mature toms weighing 150–190 pounds, with skulls measuring 14–15 inches taken annually. High cat densities, extensive road systems, and optimal winter tracking conditions make this a highly effective and exciting pursuit.
All hunts are conducted with experienced guides and well-trained hounds. A combination of snowmobiles and 4x4 vehicles are used to locate fresh tracks after snowfall. Once a suitable track is cut, the hounds are released in hot pursuit. From that moment forward, the hunt becomes fast-paced and physically demanding. Hunters should expect periods of downtime while searching for tracks, followed by intense bursts of activity when the chase begins.
Reaching a treed cat may require snowshoeing or hiking through deep snow. Physical preparation is important, as conditions can be challenging. However, hunters who prefer may remain in warm vehicles while guides search for tracks, conserving energy for the final approach.
Hunters may harvest two cougars on a hunt (additional trophy fee applies), though only one may be a mature male. The second must be a management tom or barren female. Lynx and Bobcat may be added with proper licensing and trophy fees. These smaller cats are typically best hunted before mid-January when snow depth remains manageable for hounds.
Wolf and coyote are frequently encountered during winter hunts and may be taken incidentally with the appropriate license and trophy fee.
Hunts are scheduled around optimal snow conditions, and flexibility is strongly recommended. Booking priority is based on deposits received.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
Most cougar hunts are conducted from a comfortable and strategically located base camp in the heart of the concession. The one-hour drive into camp offers breathtaking mountain scenery and immediate immersion into prime predator country.
Following a wildfire that destroyed the original lodge, the outfitter has rebuilt operations into a well-appointed permanent wall tent camp while long-term improvements continue. The current base camp comfortably accommodates up to six hunters.
Camp features include: Insulated floor and half-wall permanent wall tents, Memory foam mattresses, Wood stoves with propane heater backup, Lighting and power for charging devices, Heated cook tent with full kitchen and dining area, Attached shower room, Wi-Fi access when generator is running.
An additional insulated cabin sleeping two guests includes private heat and shower facilities. For certain hunts, spike camps may be used in prime locations. These include comfortable wall tents with kitchen facilities and portable shower setups, or lightweight backpack-style mountain tents for remote access situations.
LICENSE INFORMATION:
All hunters must purchase the appropriate British Columbia hunting license and species tags prior to hunting. Licenses for Cougar, Lynx, Bobcat, Wolf, and Coyote may be added to the base hunt package.
Harvest regulations strictly follow provincial wildlife management guidelines. Only one mature male cougar may be taken per hunter. Additional cougars must meet management criteria (young male or barren female). Trophy fees apply upon successful harvest of each animal. Hunts are allocated based on deposit order, and due to snow-dependent conditions, flexible scheduling is encouraged to ensure optimal success.
For hunters seeking an authentic, high-adrenaline winter predator hunt with excellent trophy potential and strong ethical foundations, this British Columbia mountain lion hunt delivers a premier experience.
