Are you already a hunter, perhaps going out each hunting season to obtain deer that will fill your freezer? Lately you might have heard that you have competition when it comes to finding the deer you will later feed your family. That competition might come in the form of a cougar. That information might have inspired you to go cougar hunting even before deer season begins. Or, you might be interested in hunting for cougars simply because you've never had that experience in the past. In either case, you might be interested in arranging for a cougar hunting package.

Where Do You Live? - If you live in a state that has a large amount of cougars living in the wild, you'll more than likely be able to find a cougar hunting package right in your own city. If you live somewhere else and you are hunting for cougar as a sport, where you live will more than likely affect where you want to hunt. For example, if you live in Texas, it just makes good sense for you to hunt for cougar in New Mexico or Colorado because those states are closer to you, right? If you live in one of the northeastern states, you'll probably head to Idaho, Montana, Utah or Wyoming. 

The Cougar Hunting Package - Buying a cougar hunting package means that the company will arrange for permits you'll need. If you live out of state, that might take a very long time. You can use that time to become very physically fit, as going on a cougar hunt might be a lot more strenuous than you expected it to be. Consider the fact that you'll be waking up super early in the mornings while you're on your hunt and consider the fact that, though you'll be in show-friendly vehicles, you'll also be tracking. You'll be taught how to track and how to follow the lead of the dogs that search for cougars.

If you are mixing pleasure with the actual hunt of your cougar be prepared for some fun in the snow. Consider adding days before your hunt or after your hunt so that you can enjoy things like ice fishing, snowshoeing, and downhill skiing. The lodge where you will more than likely stay will have a great restaurant and, if you want to go into a nearby town to see the sights, transportation can be arranged for that purpose.
