Hunt Details
In the field
The team may cover country before daylight looking for a mature tom track. Snow can help judge the track, but the hounds do not require snow to work a lion.
How to prepare
Be ready for winter weather, early starts, uneven terrain and potentially demanding travel on foot once the hounds are working.
Ask Cody
Ask about current quota status, districts, winter conditions, physical demands, equipment and how the hound hunt is structured.
Day-to-day expectations
What This Hunt Can Involve
No two days are identical. Weather, animal movement, terrain, the hunter's ability and the guide's plan determine how the day unfolds.
Cover country early
The team may cover country before daylight looking for a mature tom track.
Judge the track
When snow is available it helps the team judge whether the track is a mature tom worth pursuing.
Turn out the hounds
Once the right track is found, trained hounds work the trail while the guide and hunter follow the hunt.
Be ready for winter
Terrain, snow, roads and the distance the lion travels can make each day very different.
