The Hunt

western sky outfitters is permitted to guide in the best mountain lion, sheep and goat hunting areas in the San Juan Mountains.  Our hunts are 1x1 guided and are all pre-scouted before the season.  We pack into camp on horse back and base out of a backpack style camp.  Camp is designed to be mobile and a good backpack is required.  All food is provided and is basic backpacker meals. You will hunt out of camp with your guide on foot and days will be spent covering ground and glassing mountain slopes for trophy animals. Good optics, footwear, and top physical condition are a must.    These are 7 day hunts, 5 full days hunting, 2 days of travel.
