Spring 2025 - Nevada
Hands down one of the most intense and rewarding hunts I've ever been on. Ira with Proven Pursuit knows the country like the back of his hand- definitely not just a "weekend warrior". It was non-stop action. The dogs were incredible, and the teamwork between man and hound was quite something to witness. Ended the hunt with a mature Tom and a story I will be telling for years. If you're looking for a legit mountain lion hunt in Nevada, This is who you call.

Fall 2025 - Arizona
I could not be happier with my AZ hunt with Ira Hook. His dogs performed flawlessly catching many bears over the week of hunting. Ira is a great hounds man and it shows in his dog work. He knows what he is doing! His dogs do their job and Ira knows how to work them properly. If you want to hunt with a true professional with hounds hit up Ira you will not regret it. He runs lions up in NV and I can’t wait to get up there and hunt with him soon.

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.
