How we rank: Outfitters are ranked by a credibility-weighted rating that blends each outfitter's verified Google star rating with how many reviews back it up — so a strong average from many hunters outranks the same average from only a few — then by the breadth of mountain lion packages they offer (live inventory, last updated September 2026). Prices, ratings and review counts come straight from each outfitter's current listings — always confirm details before you book.
Nobody else ranks Wyoming's mountain lion outfitters against each other
Search this question and you get one outfitter's own site after another, plus a Facebook thread of hunters asking each other for recommendations. None of them puts a lion outfitter's reviews next to a competitor's. This page does — computed across every outfitter that actually runs a mountain lion hunt in Wyoming, not one operator's own rate card.
Ask about dogs before you book
This is a hound hunt — most outfitters here chase lions with dogs, and roughly half list dogs as included in the hunt price outright. The rest may still hunt with hounds but don't say so in the package terms. Confirm it before you send a deposit, not after.
Why a lion hunt costs more than a pronghorn or deer hunt
A mountain lion tag is a special draw, and the hunt itself runs longer — most of these are five to seven days of tracking fresh snow, not a two-day sit. That's most of what separates the cheapest hunt on this list from the priciest, not a worse outfitter.
