I have never seen a mt lion while hunting. Be kinda cool to be able to harvest one now that a tag isn't needed. Wondering if the rule change will lead to increase in harvest?
No tag needed. open season 365 days a year!New rules? I had two I came across this muzzy hunt with daughter. I guess I need to read about the new rules
I think that is exactly what is needed, just enough to keep population from continuing to explode and deer #'s to try and stabilize. I glassed up two on my archery deer hunt in AZ, I borrowed a gun and shot one and I had a younger guy shoot the other he had never shot one before.Seen one and screwed the pooch at 200 yard with the muzzleloader. Still have only seen a handful while hunting in my lifetime. There will be several a year killed, but no big numbers.
I never seen anyone say they see them every year, but I have seen several over the years. Including a couple, I could have killed with a bow.Kinda Funny!
The Deer & Elk Only Hunters Seen Several Cats Every Year!
But Can't Seem To See Them Now That It's Open Season On The Cats!
awesome!!
Let's see a picture of the whole cat, great job.
I'm not familiar enough with cougars to know whether or not the meat is edible, but if I ever shoot one, I'll find out. Plus, I know the head and the hide are used for mounts and rugs, so it may be worth it financially as well as emotionally to go on a hunt specifically for one (or more).Just because you didn't see one during your big game hunt, that doesn't mean you are done! You can still hunt them during your small game, waterfowl, bear & varmint hunts and while you're fishing on the shore or driving the woods for the scenery or gathering firewood or Christmas tree(s) or hiking or camping, or you can just book a hound hunt. Just bring your hunting license, a weapon and know where you are and where the cat is and what the rules are for the area and time. Year round and unlimited!

In my case, since I don't have dogs and couldn't keep up with them if I did, I'll do what I normally do and figure out a way to get them to come to me. I've got some ideas rolling around in my head (Yes,, they're all legal) but I'll need to do some more research on the animal to find their weaknesses. I'll let you know if it works out.

I have never seen a lion while hunting. Ever.
But I’d like to these days.
Don't know yet, but it appears to be legal. But I better do it soon before you and the bait banning crowd decide it's "lame".So efa?
You're Gonna Bait Them Like You Do Deer?
Very few bears checked in so far. I don’t believe most hunters in utah are even aware of this new (ish) opportunity.What about the OTC harvest objective bear tag? Anyone had any luck?

Really? Then why is that I can't post on ANY thread without you bringing it up in the present tense in an attempt to discredit me and/or my ideas? You make it sound like I'm still breaking the law! I'm not! Your and my posts are seen by many of the people who make laws or influence those who make laws, and those posts have an impact on their votes.Hey efa!
I'm Not Liable For Any Of The BS Taking Place!

It's true that some "baiting" got outa hand and turned into feeding, but my two dozen apples scattered around a waterhole that they were using anyway, never did. I only did it to get a clear, clean, level, broadside shot at an unalerted animal. But even that was too much for the anti-baiting crowd. They wanted ALL baiting banned and you see how far they took it. Now you can't even shoot an animal that may be going to or coming from a bait site or former bait site. And the ironic thing about this law is that it doesn't stop the baiting that got outa hand. Most of that's still legal! In any case, if you don't want to be liable for the BS, stop posting your opinions about it.
So is it "MOTL" hunters or "Trophy hunters" that are creating the "BS" in today's hunting world? I'd really like to know.Hey efa!
You're Gettin Too Wound Up!
I Like RAZZIN People!
You're Included Too!
I Have RAZZED You For Years About Your Apple Piles!
I'm Not Saying You're Still Setting Them Out!
But I Did Find Several Illegal Bait/Apple/Salt/Grain Piles This Year!
No!
I Didn't Say: That Damned efa!
Have You Not Heard Me Say Umpteen Times Over The Years:
Who Loses When Alot Of These New Laws Are NOT & Can't Be Enforced?
I'll Still Be Posting My Opinion!
Keep Baiting!
(That Doesn't Mean You/efa Is Still Baiting)
I Don't Really Care!
There's So Much BS Going On In Today's Hunting World It's Almost Beyond Belief!
But I Did Find Several Illegal Bait/Apple/Salt/Grain Piles This Year!
Keep Baiting!
My, oh, my! Aren't you lucky! You found several places that you can no longer hunt and you're asking for more? Since the baited area is a circle 100 yards in diameter (including the bait in the center). AND since you can't shoot a big game animal that is going to or coming from that circle, you've got quite a task deciding whether or not any big game animal you see is legal. AND that's just the ones you know about that are currently baited. That doesn't include the current baits you didn't find nor the ones that were baited in the past, but are still drawing animals in.I Don't Really Care!
Thank you for saving a bunch of Deer.
I don’t think them were warning shots. I think he was shaking so bad he missed.
That top pick is incredible!I've seen too many to remember.
Total killed so far is 185 here In Montana for 2023 season there is plenty left so come on up.
