Bobcat Hunting Details
Generally, Bobcat hunts start in November and go through March. During these months the snowfall can vary, but we hunt no matter the weather. Our days start off very early in the mornings driving and cutting roads for fresh tracks. We utilize trucks, ATVs, and snowmobiles. In the Spring hunts can be much more challenging. If you would like to witness the excitement of the race of the hunt, this might be the best hunt for you. Watching the hounds work hard in the dry ground to find the bobcat. We will accommodate the hunt according to the hunter's physical abilities and desires.

Suggestions for Both Hunts
Dress in layers because you want to avoid sweating and then getting cold. When packing your day pack keep the weight of it in mind, you could end up hiking many miles in the snow. Camouflage is okay to wear but necessary. No orange clothing is needed. When choosing the weapon to bring you will need to keep it light. So we recommend a pistol or open sight rifle. Usually, your shot will be close.
