At Proven Pursuit, you’re joining a team that lives and breathes the hound-hunting lifestyle. This family-run outfitter has built a reputation across the West for exceptional service, expert dogs, and a commitment to giving every guest a genuine, rewarding hunt. From the moment you arrive, you’ll see the difference in the care, knowledge, and dedication that goes into every pursuit.
These hunts are designed for guests who want a real experience in the mountains—steady, focused, and supported by guides who understand the land as well as the animals they track.
Nevada offers some of the best opportunities for guided hunts, and Proven Pursuit has spent years mastering the terrain. With tags available over the counter, planning is simple. Guests are required to purchase the appropriate state hunting tag before the hunt. The team handles the remaining details so you can focus on the chase. Guides study weather, tracks, movement patterns, and routes through country that ranges from rolling hills to steep, rocky canyons. When the dogs open up on a hot trail, you’ll know you’re in for something special. These are seasoned hounds raised from proven bloodlines, built for tough country, cold trails, and long days.
In Arizona, fall brings prime conditions for guided hunts, with active wildlife, cooler mornings, and ideal tracking windows. Guests can expect early departures, miles of country to explore, and the steady work of talented hounds who know how to sort out a trail. Evenings often shift to glassing, offering another angle to catch movement in good habitat.
Your guide, Ira, has spent his entire life in this world. From raising young pups to training elite adults, he brings unmatched insight into what makes a successful hound and a successful hunt. His dogs trace back to respected dry-ground bloodlines, known for speed, drive, and reliable noses in the toughest conditions. Many guests choose Proven Pursuit not only for the outcome, but for the experience of watching these dogs work with precision and determination.
Trips include expert guiding, well-trained hounds, meals, lodging, and full support from start to finish. Whether you’re a first-time hunter or someone who has spent years in the field, Proven Pursuit offers a level of service, honesty, and skill that sets it apart. Every hunt is personal, every detail is handled, and every guest is treated like family. If you’re ready for a true Western experience, Proven Pursuit is prepared to lead the way.
