Guided Black Bear & Mountain Lion Hunts in New Mexico
Come pursue the elusive black bear or mountain lion in Southwestern New Mexico with Radiant R Outfitters. If you are looking for an exciting predator hunt over hounds in New Mexico, we are your local experts who can make it happen.
Predator Hunts Over Hounds: What to Expect
Because of the vast territories that mountain lions and bears cover, we use hounds to hunt them and are not confined to one area. Our houndsmen are experts in their craft and train their hounds to the highest levels, and they will be with you every step of the way.
Multiple transportation modalities can be used during this hunt, including walking on foot, riding mules, vehicles, etc.
The licenses can be purchased online through the New Mexico Department of Wildlife website, and need to be activated 48 hours before your planned hunting dates.
Hunting Mountain Lion in NM
The mountain lion’s intelligence and elusive nature make it a challenging yet rewarding animal to hunt. Successfully tracking and harvesting one requires an experienced hunting guide, a great team of hounds, patience, and accurate shooting. New Mexico mountain lion licenses are year-round tags from April 1-March 31 the following year, and you may harvest two mountain lions with your license.
Hunting Black Bear in NM
The high desert in Southwest New Mexico is a unique landscape to hunt black bears in. The dry, rocky terrain demands a lot from both the hunters and the dogs, and makes a successful hunt even more rewarding.
Bear licenses are over the counter, and harvest goals are met by a quota system. If you are planning to hunt bears, the season starts September 25 and goes until the unit quota is reached, so it is crucial that you come towards the start of the season, as it may close as we get further into it if quotas are met.
