Female Mountain Lion Season Closed in Hunt Units 31 and 32

As of Friday, January 02, the female portion of the mountain lion hunting season in hunt units 31 and 32 has been closed by order of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. "Either sex lion hunting in these units was scheduled to remain open until March 31, or until seven female lions were harvested between the two units, whichever came first," Fish and Game regional wildlife manager Jeff Rohlman stated. "These units have reached the quota of seven female lions; hunters may now harvest only male lions in these units." The male lion season remains open through March 31. Mountain lion hunting rules require successful hunters to bring the skull and hide with evidence of sex attached to any Fish and Game conservation officer or Fish and Game regional office within ten days of the kill for tagging.
