Evan Koster is a 5th generation Coloradan and the lead guide for Flattops Wilderness Guides and Horn Fork Guides.  Evan has been guiding since 2015 for Elk, Bear, Deer, Sheep, Goats and Mountain Lions.  About 7 years ago Evan got his first hound and now has a pack of 10 hounds that he trains and uses in his Lion Hunting.  On this episode we discuss Outfitting Lions, how the hunt is regulated, Lion management plans, Quotas, Fitness and the potential ballot initiative to ban mountain lion hunting.  I felt it was important to get the truth out there about how Lion hunting and outfitting truly work in our state.  Pleas listen and take action where you can!
