2020-21 Hunting Season
Mountain lion harvest in parts of southern Idaho is managed by limiting the number of female mountain lions that may be harvested. Other areas in eastern Idaho additionally limit male harvest.
- Check the mountain lion section of the Big Game Seasons and Rules brochure for more information about the harvest quotas and season dates.
- Phone 1-800-323-4334 to confirm the latest information about any closures.
Mandatory Check and Report: Any hunter killing a mountain lion in a unit with no female quota must check and report their kill within 10 days of the date of kill. In units with a female quota, hunters must check and report their kill within 5 days of the date of kill.
