Doug McMann grew up on a farm in British Columbia, where he developed a passion for hunting inspired by stories of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. After working as a construction manager in Vancouver, Doug left city life for a remote valley of just 150 residents, driven by his dream to hunt mountain lions. Despite starting with no experience, he trained a hound, though his first attempt ended in tragedy with the dog's death. Transitioning from carpentry to guiding, Doug successfully established his own outfitting business after catching mountain lions with his dogs. His hounds, a blend of American Leopardhound and Walker breeds, play a crucial role in his guiding work. Although initially skeptical of social media, Doug now uses platforms like Facebook and Instagram to attract clients, including international hunters. His guiding business thrives on word-of-mouth referrals and excellent personal service. Doug's work also involves studying mountain lions for caribou conservation, using GPS collars to track their behavior and impact. Facing challenges with land access due to policy changes, he is considering a move to Belize for jaguar studies.
