2009 South Dakota mountain lion season is set
PIERRE, S.D. – After three months of public comments and testimony, the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Commission has finalized the 2010 Mountain Lion Season.
The season will run from Jan. 1-Mar. 31, 2010 or until the mountain lion harvest limit of 40, or the female harvest limit of 25, is reached. The statewide season will be open to residents only.
Landowners who purchase a mountain lion license can harvest a lion year-round on private land they own or lease outside the Black Hills Fire Protection District.
Hunters may not use traps, dogs or bait while hunting lions, but can use electronic game calls.
