Lion hunts

[DesertBull]

Anyone know of any AZ lion guides that do hunts on a stand-by basis. Don't know if that is the correct term, but basically they call you when the conditions are right and you go hunt instead of having a set date?

 

By the way, if you Google "cougar hunt", be careful what links you click.

You would call those URBAN COUGARS!

Try our sponsor Nichols Guiding Service. I don't know for sure if he would do a hunt the way you are asking, but they do lots of lion hunting and would be good to call and ask.

That's pretty much what I did with Josh (Aka: Grong) and his dad Randy Epperson. I told them I wanted to go and Josh called me when they had a couple of lions that were hitting the same scratches/areas on a somewhat regular basis. As luck turned out they ended up getting a call from another houndsman that had been told about a fresh kill that we could go hunt. We chased this lion on dry ground for two days off the kill and finally on the second day, Hap, Rusty, Mike and Roxy put him in a tree!

 

The hunt was really planed at the last minute and not months in advance for a certain date.

Mike at guidelinz.com has awseome prices and killewr dogs!!!!

I would call "Dog man" or Randy Epperson of "Rimrock Outfitters". I don't think you would be disappointed in the opperation of his dry ground hounds.

Tracy, funny you ask about the weight. Josh and Randy packed that thing off the mountain guts and all just so we could put it on a scale so we wouldn't have to guess. The truth is I don't even remember. Sorry guys!

 

I'm thinking maybe 138lbs??? Perhaps Josh or Randy can recall? I really don't care, that lion was everything I ever dreamed of! Being able to follow Randy Epperson and his pack of dogs was an amazing experience that everyone should try to do at least once in there life!

Jeff,

 

I have a first rate guy in your favorite unit that will work his A$$ off for you! He is pretty well known for his bear and lion hunting and loves to have a few guys "on call" for cats that we come across while in the field. I'll give you a call or you can call me if you want his number.

BJ Hill just got the guide license and is just starting out. He has the cross seven outfitters (+7) in tonto basin arizona. he has some good dogs and lion hunting is his passion. any free time since i can remember he goes lion hunting. he aint the best as hes just starting out but the prices I know aint real steep so maybe give him a call at 928-978-2141. good luck with whoever you hunt with. when you get one youll be hooked. i honestly recommend going on the full hunt because it really makes it so much more memorable and you really appreciate your cat.
