Podcasts about Lion hunting

Send us a textA mountain lion's paw print in fresh snow means something different to Scott of Montana Mountain Lion Adventures—it's the beginning of a primal pursuit that represents one of hunting's most specialized traditions. Through decades of experience training "long, sophisticated tracking machines" (his hounds), Scott has developed a deep understanding of both the cats he pursues and the dogs that help him do it.From his childhood fascination with a life-sized mountain lion mount in his family's kitchen to becoming president of the Montana State Hounding Association, Scott's journey reveals the extraordinary patience and perseverance required to master this craft. He shares the pivotal moment when an ornery but skilled local hunter took him under his wing, leading to his first successful mountain lion hunt and the realization that his previous failures weren't due to a lack of tracking ability but working with dogs unsuited to Montana's challenging conditions.Scott provides fascinating insights into his selective breeding approach—by 18 months, his dogs must independently trail and tree lions, and by 30 months, they must perform on dry ground without snow to assist tracking. His commitment to quality over quantity is evident in his guiding philosophy, typically using only three dogs when most would run six or seven, ensuring every hound genuinely contributes to the hunt.Beyond the hunt itself, Scott's participation in Montana's Mountain Lion Monitoring Program reveals surprising scientific discoveries about these predators. GPS-collared cats have shown that while some lions kill deer weekly, others might survive 20 days between major kills, relying on smaller prey. Perhaps most striking is the evidence that mortality rates in non-hunted lion populations closely match those in areas with well-managed hunting quotas, challenging common assumptions about conservation approaches.Call Scott directly to discuss booking a hunt—with only a limited number of clients accepted each year and typically booked 1-2 years in advance, these specialized experiences require advance planning but deliver an authentic connection to one of hunting's most challenging pursuits.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

Send us a textWalker Witt embodies the dream that many eastern hunters hold close—leaving everything behind to build a life in the western mountains. After growing up hunting whitetails and turkeys in Pennsylvania, Walker packed his bags the summer after high school graduation and headed to Montana to guide elk hunts. He never looked back.Walker brings a unique background to his guiding career. A bull rider since age 17—initially hiding competitions from his concerned mother—he carries that same grit into the mountains. This resilience served him well when he was thrown into guiding responsibilities after another guide abandoned their hunting party. Despite being new to elk country, Walker's hunting instincts proved strong, and he quickly adapted to calling in bulls and reading elk behavior in the thick northwestern forests.The conversation delves into fascinating insights about western hunting. Walker explains how herd bulls in thick timber typically manage only about a dozen cows compared to 30-60 in open country due to visibility limitations. He shares his philosophy that "you can fool an elk's eyes and his ears, but you'll never fool his nose," emphasizing wind strategy above all else. Eastern turkey hunters, he notes, often make superior elk guides because their calling experience transfers perfectly to elk hunting scenarios.Perhaps most captivating is Walker's passion for hound hunting. Starting with beagles for rabbits in Pennsylvania, he now runs hounds for mountain lions and bears in Montana and Idaho. He explains the surprising fact that mountain lions typically tree quickly (within 600-800 yards) because their muscular bodies can't sustain prolonged oxygen demands—contrary to bears that might lead hunters on 20-mile pursuits. His recent work removing a problem cougar that was killing livestock and pets highlights the practical conservation role that hunters play in managing predator populations.Whether you're an aspiring western hunter, fascinated by predator hunting, or simply enjoy authentic stories from the mountains, Walker's journey from Pennsylvania bull rider to Montana wilderness guide offers a genuine look at what it takes to pursue a life committed to the outdoors. Listen now to experience hunting wisdom earned through years in some of America's most challenging terrain.Check us out on Facebook and instagram Hunts On Outfitting, and also our YouTube page Hunts On Outfitting Podcast.

WE NEED TO STOP THE MOUNTAIN LION HUNTING BAN As it upends YEARS of carefully tuned wildlife management by the biologists at Colorado Parks and Wildlife (did you know you have to have some sort of degree to work there and that most hold degrees in wildlife biology or other related fields?). We don't need a bunch of people living in the Front Range telling the people who live in the urban-rural interface that their pets should be eaten because the mountain lion population is out of control. Dan Gates joins me to further explain why a NO on 127 is the way to go.

Lady Hopps, (that is not her real name) is an influencer out of Colorado. Robbie got to know Hopps via a zoom call where he was introduced to her and she had some questions about the upcoming proposed ban of mountain lion hunting. Robbie answered them, but then invited her onto the podcast to an open Q&A about the proposed ban - really an OPEN Q&A from her audience to Robbie. Prior to the podcast Hopps posed a challenge to her community of followers to ask any questions they have for Robbie ahead of this critical ballot fight.

Summary: In this episode, we discuss Proposition 127 in Colorado, which seeks to change the regulations surrounding mountain lion hunting. The guests explore the implications of this proposition on conservation, food security, and the culinary value of mountain lion meat. The conversation includes personal experiences from hunters, the challenges of hunting mountain lions, and the public perception of eating predators. The guests also emphasize the importance of responsible wildlife management and the need for hunters and non-hunters alike to unite against extremist views that threaten hunting rights. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices Links: Coyote Steak Bites Red Curry Braised Bobcat New Product: Mountain Lion Hunting T-Shirt and Water Bottle Guest: Jeremy and Chandra Sanderson, partners with three children, truly shatter the "trophy hunter" caricature that the anti-hunting industry presents —they love wildlife, fight for conservation, and honor their harvest with beautiful culinary creations. Mike Costello is an "adult-onset hunter" in California and a contributor to HOWL for Wildlife. As a conservation advocate, he believes all native species deserve a place to thrive and that true conservation success results in an abundance of critters and the opportunity for people to sustainably hunt, harvest, and participate in nature. Ways to Help: Wildlife Deserve Better Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management Takeaways: Proposition 127 aims to ban mountain lion hunting in Colorado. Hunting is a crucial part of wildlife management and conservation. Mountain lion meat is edible and can be delicious. Public perception of eating predators is often influenced by cultural programming. The consequences of banning mountain lion hunting could be detrimental to ecosystems. Hunters contribute significantly to conservation funding and wildlife management. Engaging in conversations about hunting can help change perceptions. Voting and supporting responsible wildlife management organizations is essential. The anti-hunting movement is gaining traction and could affect other states. Food security is a fundamental right that includes the right to hunt.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Proposition 127 and Its Implications 03:04 The Role of Hunting in Conservation and Food Security 05:53 Personal Experiences with Mountain Lion Hunting 08:47 Culinary Aspects of Mountain Lion Meat 11:59 The Challenges of Hunting Mountain Lions 14:56 The Impact of Proposition 127 on Wildlife Management 18:03 Public Perception of Eating Predators 20:55 The Consequences of Banning Mountain Lion Hunting 23:53 Call to Action: Supporting Responsible Wildlife Management 26:57 Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks Keywords: Proposition 127, mountain lion hunting, conservation, food security, wildlife management, culinary uses, hunting rights, Colorado, ethical hunting, predator meat Learn more about your ad choices.

WHY YOU NEED TO VOTE NO ON THE MOUNTAIN LION HUNTING BAN I know, I know, they are very pretty. And can be very dangerous when meeting up with humans and civilization. Our mountain lion population has been well managed for a long time by biologists at the Colorado Parks and Wildlife division for years. We have a very healthy population that has grown and is maintained with things like controlled hunting to keep the numbers at a level where the cats have enough space to call their own. Today I've got Mike Costello with HOWL on to talk about California's hunting ban and what it's done there. It's not good. Find out more about HOWL by clicking here, and read his column about it here.

Release Date: 03-15-23 We cross paths with people who put us on a certain heading in life. In 2009 Heath started with a new line of hounds he wasn't familiar with, Topper Again. Mike Leonard was the one that pointed him in that direction. Mike has been a horseman and houndsman for more than 5 decades. From bird dogs to hounds Mike has spent the majority of his life following game all over the West. Heath and Mike talk about a training method Mike told Heath about 14 years ago that Heath still uses today. They talk about what Mike thinks the differences between a good Lion dog and a good bear dog is. Heath asks Mike the infamous question, can a lion shut off its scent? The two discuss theories, science, and what the heck is actually going on. The Journey is just getting started, listen up this is the diamond in the rough.   ►Get Your Houndsman XP Info, Gear & More Here!www.HoundsmanXP.com►Become a Patron of Houndsman XP!

Today's episode gives a new meaning to the statement “it's in the bag”.  The real question is what's in that bag? Or even better yet, "were putting what in that bag?" For anyone who is familiar with the South West hunting/cowboy culture, you know there is a different breed of Houndsmen down in that region. The men responsible for the beginning of lion studies, stocking zoo's and even capturing the big cats that crossed the Hollywood screen.  This article is all about the feeling of success when you see all your training pay off and the true definition of a good friend and hunting partner.  We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

In this episode of Sheep Fever, we visit with Mark Truax, President and CEO of Pac/West Strategies, to discuss the attempted ban on mountain lion, bobcat, and lynx hunting in Colorado. This ban, proposed through a voter's ballot initiative and backed by out-of-state animal rights groups, raises important questions. Why mountain lions? Why Colorado? Why a voter's ballot process? The answers; because it's winnable. Mark and his company are on the ground in Colorado, trying to prevent this measure from becoming the law of the land and opening the door for other attempts in other states. As sportsmen, we understand the role of predator/prey relationships, ecological realities, and the necessity of science-informed wildlife management to prevent situations where too many are just as bad as too few, regardless of the species. But do Coloradoans have all the facts, especially those who have recently moved to this western state? Or does saving these beautiful cats from “trophy hunters,” as this initiative is being sold, look like the right thing to do?

This weeks live from Brett Vaughn and Born 100 Years Too Late covers a lot of ground.  Chaga bugs, new kennels, cowboy stuff and more! We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

Hound hunting can stir strong emotions in both hunters and non-hunters. Jason and his good friend and hunting outfitter, Bradley Dammerman, reflect on Jason's recent Mountain Lion hunt and discuss what hound hunting is all about. As any group of people today, a couple bad actors can make the whole group look bad. Bradley explains his take on houndsmen, selective harvest, and what really goes into hunting with dogs. They also recap the hunt that didn't turn out quite how they anticipated.
