Utah mountain lion hunt, return for free if unsuccessful

This Utah outfitter who loves lion hunting and must take hunters in order to keep his 21 dogs fed. He hunts in three different parts of the state, the well-known Book Cliffs, the Oak Creek unit near Fillmore, and the Mount Nebo unit near Nephi. The Book Cliffs is on a harvest objective system -- once a certain number of big cats are killed, the season is closed. You do not have to draw a permit in a computer lottery to hunt there; you just have to order a lion permit before your hunt. The other two units are limited-permit units. You must apply for a permit in October, and the drawing takes place in November. The best hunting is usually in December, January and February, but in some areas the outfitter can go until March.

If the outfitter does not tree a lion in six days, you may return for another seven days at no charge. If he trees a lion and you can't hike to the tree, the guarantee is off. The outfitter likes to rise at 3 a.m. to look for fresh tracks by four-wheel-drive vehicle. If he can't find a fresh track, you'll usually ride mules the next day and check out ridges between roads. This has proved to be hunting. There are some very big lions, including Boone and Crockett class animals, taken in each unit. Our clients say this outfitter is organized and dedicated. Hunt ML186.
