Proven Pursuit Testimonials

Beauregard Moody

Had an incredible mountain lion hunt with Proven Pursuit and y guide, Ira Hook. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and professionally run. Ira is not only a top-tier hunting guide with unmatched knowledge of the terrain and the hunt itself, but also a genuinely great person to spend time with in the mountains. His dedication, experience, and character make the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a serious hunt with a guide who knows his craft and treats people right, Ira and Proven Pursuit are the way to go. Highly recommend.

Winter Trophy Mountain Lion

Ira Hook and the Proven Pursuit hounds provided a lifetime experience. In my 20+ years of hunting I had never seen a mountain lion in the wild. During our 7- days of hunting, Ira and I covered a lot of country. Coming across tracks everyday, the hounds were able to tree 5- lions and one bobcat. Getting to watch the dogs work and catch up to these cats on snow or dry ground really shoed Ira's dedication to training these working animals. The weather and condition weren't always perfect, but we stayed motivated knowing if we did our jobs finding tracks, the dogs would give us all they had. Giving us a good shot at catching up with these elusive lions. This hunt will be one for the books. Ira and his hounds provided me an opportunity to harvest a very mature old warrior cat.
