Bearcat Outfitters was started in 1953 by Bob (Bobcat)
and Vona Peters. From then until the 1980’s they
provided quality hunts for Elk, Mule Deer, Black Bear,
Bobcat and Mountain Lion. Bobcat was an avid hound man
running hounds for Black Bear, Mountain Lion, and Bobcat
in many of the Western States. He was a part of many
Mountain Lion studies in conjunction with the Colorado

While
working 8 years as a predator control officer for the
State of Colorado. He acquired his nick name "Bobcat"
and set a national record by catching 104 bobcat in

Mountain Lion hunting and traveled with his hounds to
Mexico and Honduras in pursuit of jaguar.

From
1980 through 1990 Bobcat and Vona (Bob's wife, who handled
the bookkeeping , correspondence with hunters, and providing
all the wonderful weight gaining meals.) changed the
focus of their business, to providing only quality Elk
and Deer Hunts. In 1990, Bobcat and Vona retired, and
sold Bearcat Outfitters to their son Seth, the youngest
of five children.
With
over 30 years of experience, Seth and his wife Linda
(along with a group of very hard working, caring individuals),
continue operating Bearcat Outfitters, carrying on the
business with the same goals and ethics, that it was
started with over 50 years ago.
Bearcat Outfitters is committed to providing you a quality
hunting experience! |
