Lot 6 New Mexico Lion with Hounds with Chip Ortiz

New Mexico Lion with Hounds with Chip Ortiz

Embark on one of the most thrilling big-game adventures in North America with this action-packed New Mexico mountain lion hunt, guided by an elite and highly experienced houndsman team. Hunts take place statewide across rugged Western terrain from November 1st through mid-April, with hunters choosing any five-day window or remaining on call for optimal conditions to maximize success. Each hunt is conducted using a combination of 4x4 trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, horses, and mules while an experienced crew of three to six team members scouting fresh lion tracks to give hunters the best opportunity possible. Once a track is located, the dogs are released and the chase is on—an adrenaline-filled pursuit through breathtaking country until the lion is treed, where the team works to get hunters as close as possible to the action. This outfitter consistently harvests lions across New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, guiding 20–25 lion hunters per season with outstanding success through the use of a proven pack of cold-nosed hounds, tracked ATVs, and top-tier equipment. Physical demands vary by terrain and track freshness—sometimes the approach is easy, other times it requires determination in true Western backcountry fashion—but every hunt delivers excitement, challenge, and unforgettable memories. Up to two lions may be harvested on this hunt, with the second cat available for $3,000. Required non-resident New Mexico fees include a $65 Game-Hunting License, $10 Habitat Stamp, $4 Habitat Management & Access Validation, and $290 Cougar License. Closest major airport is Albuquerque International Sunport in Albuquerque, NM.
