Puma (Mountain Lion) — Patagonia, Argentina

Hound hunting for puma in the open Patagonian steppe — one of the most exciting and challenging predator hunts in South America. Free-range pumas in dramatic southern Andean country.

Patagonian puma hunting with hounds is a thrilling, fast-paced hunt across the wind-scoured steppe and lake country of southern Argentina. Pumas (identical to North American mountain lions) are hunted here with traditional hound packs that chase and tree or hold the cats.

The dramatic landscape of Patagonia — iconic mountains, crystalline lakes, and vast open plains — provides an unforgettable backdrop for this exciting predator hunt. Pumas here are large, with trophy cats measured by skull size and body length. Combine with red stag or wild boar for a complete Argentine experience.
