Due to some unexpected work in Az I decided to try a Mtn Lion hunt. I contacted Mark Buehrer at Bowhunting Safari Consultants and after a couple of calls I decided to go with Lloyd Nielson of Sunrise Outfitters. Most of the outfitters I talked to said it was pretty late to go Lion hunting but Lloyd said he preferred to hunt the dry ground for Mtn Lions. I went with Lloyd and what a great time I had both hunting and for my wife and myself the sight seeing after the hunt. To make a long story short I was successful (on the first day) and would tell everyone to go with Lloyd. You won't regret it. I will caution you be in good shape when you get there. You can call Mark at 800-833-9777 or [email protected]

Was loyd your guide or his brother? I hunted with his brother in December of 2007 and took a nice Tom on the second day.
Nice lion. The photos of the country are giving me flashbacks of almost falling down one of those cliffs.

His brother LeRoy does not guide anymore that I know of. He still runs dogs, but don't think that he is guiding.

bghunter, Don't take my word as the gospel, but I think that is the case. Oh, and I'm a French model in case you wanted to know since this is the internet.

Nice cat! I have one drying right now that I'm hanging in my studio. I built a nice sandstone rock for it but i really like that rock behind you in the pic with you holding that cat up. That would be a really cool rock with your lion standing on it. The four corners is a beautiful place to live and hunt. Congrats again!

bonjour....
Shiras even sounds kind French, not as French as say, Lefemine, but kinda..... heheheh....
Congrats on the cat! Those hunts seem to be either quick and easy or impossible quests. Hit or miss.
Pretty cool. Enjoy. Thanks for the report, although a bit more story would be kinda nice.... =D

Not sure yet if I am going to mount it or just tan and hang it and boil the skull. I could use the money for another hunt.

I did mine as a full mount and it is one of the most commented mounts in the house. But also the most expensive.

I hunted with LeRoy December 2014 and killed a 170 pound, five year old Tom on the third day.
He and I still stay in touch, and he IS still guiding. Got a cat for a young lady a few weeks back.

Hunted with Lloyd years ago. He is a great guide and an awesome person to hunt with. I also booked with Mark Buehrer of Bowhunting Safari Consultants.

Anyone considering a cat hunt should really look at Lloyd. I would go back in a heart beat. Take your wife! I did and Lloyd was very helpful pointing out places for her to go while I hunted and then took us site seeing after the hunt. I also booked through Mark Buehrer.

Ole Coyote, Your question alone makes a person suspect. Cat are very elusive and are difficult to hunt any other way.
The warden was very happy I took this cat. Just 2 weeks before my harvest They released 25 sheep in that canyon. From what I saw from the tracks we had several cats to track and the population is very health.
Try it you might like it. It was a thrill. We used only one dog.

hunted with Lloyd awhile back, he is dedicated hard
driving houndsmen, never found out what those cats did to
him but he is relentless in putting his hunters on to
them. buddy went a few years latter and shot one with the
bow also.
