5-Day New Mexico Mountain Lion Hunt with Hounds

Devin Chavez Hunting offers an elite New Mexico Mountain Lion Hunt with hounds, delivering one of the most adrenaline-filled and authentic predator hunts in the West. With over 14 years of experience and a highly trained pack of hounds raised from pups, Devin has built a reputation for consistently putting hunters on lions and delivering a true fair-chase experience.

These hunts typically begin in the early morning, covering country by 4x4 trucks, UTVs, and mules while searching for fresh tracks in snow or dirt. Once a track is located and determined to be worth pursuing, the hounds are released after sunrise and the chase begins. From there, hunters follow along as the dogs work the track until the lion is treed. Most trees are within a half mile hike, though some may require a bit more effort depending on terrain and conditions. Once at the tree, dogs are secured and hunters are given the opportunity to harvest their mountain lion.

This is a 5-day hunt, structured as a one hunter per guide experience, allowing for focused attention and maximizing opportunity. With a reported 95% success rate, this hunt is built for serious hunters looking for a hands-on, high-success mountain lion pursuit in rugged New Mexico country.

For additional flexibility, an on-call hunt option is also available. This allows hunters to remain on standby and mobilize when a fresh lion track is found, offering a unique and opportunistic way to experience the hunt.
