If a big cat is what you are looking for, limited draw areas are the more pronounced for book animals that being said .. I would look at the north western part of Montana, they just changed the rules a few years ago to draw and there are a lot of cats, any outfitter has access to dogs. That being said I would look into New Mexico (W B Outfitters) as a guide I have had clients tell me that they are a good company with good references,, in other states I would look at I think its TOD'S Guideing out of Arizona I have them wrote down in my adress book but I dont know if its Todds with one d or two, one of my clients named Mike said he killed a large tom there and saw three or four more in the tree, The main thing about looking into lion hunts is you have to bee prepared to hike in all conditions from blistering heat too deep snow and freezing tempratures...Be in shape outfitters dont like cry babies on cat hunts.
