When Can You Hunt Mountain Lion?
Mountain lion hunting season can start as early as August, lasting up until April. Due to the overpopulation of cougars in some states, they may offer an additional spring season to hunt. The length of the season often depends on whether the harvest quota has been met. Mountain lion hunts rely on snow a lot, it’s one of the best methods for tracking them. If areas are lacking snow, experiencing dry grounds, only the best hounds and houndsmen can show consistent success without that environment. If you’re wanting to hunt in an area where snow cover is an uncertain thing, you may want to keep a close eye on it. You may also want to consider other areas just in case.
Why Hunt Mountain Lion?
Mountain lions are the 4th largest feline in the world, much larger than leopards. And yet, in spite of a dramatic increase in attacks on people, for its size, ability and distribution, the mostly shy and elusive cougar kills or maims a surprisingly small number of people. This is probably due to the fact that the pumas have never met with humans who wouldn’t be well-armed and competent hunters. To maintain the perception of people as not acceptable food, some degree of hunting pressure must be maintained. This concept is not easy to grasp for many people, because large felines raise a lot of emotions in humans. But this very fact ensures that hunting mountain lions, a time-honored tradition in the West, is also an extremely exciting (and very demanding physically) pursuit. Watching the hounds work and following mountain lions through rugged canyons is a one-of-a-kind experience.
