New Mexico Outfitter #1.....

These New Mexico mountain lion hunts will occur around Raton, New Mexico.

The hunts will take place on large private land ranches in the surrounding area.

At this time, they have the hunting rights on better than 500,000 private acres for

the upcoming Mountain Lion season. They will begin hunting lions on December

1, 2006 and hunt until the quotas fill up.

The habitat of these ranches runs from Pinon / Juniper and Ponderosa pine, spruce and timberline. This is rocky, mountainous terrain with the elevations running from 7500 feet to 9500 feet. These ranches hold good populations of lions and the ranch

owners want to reduce their numbers. Most of the ranches are in the elk and mule deer hunting business and they realize that lions and elk or deer don’t mix.

The cost of the hunt is totally inclusive which includes private land access, your hunting license, motel accommodations

in Raton, New Mexico, meals, transportation during the hunt, use of guides, d ogs, any equipment or horses to get you onto the lion and trophy preparation of the lion after harvest. The hunter is responsible for his / her personal gear, weapon and transportation to Raton, New Mexico.

The lion hunt can be combined with a cow elk hunt while lion hunting. This cow hunt has been 100% successful for the last five years. The cost of the hunt does not include the meat processing of the elk.
