Spot and Stalk Mt. Lion Tags!

[MuleyKiller]

Just Curious what are everyone's thoughts?

 

[BOHNTR]

In terms of???

I bought mine. Over the years of hunting other stuff, I’ve run into lions occasionally. Might as well have a tag for one if I do see another this year while hunting deer or elk

 

[GoHigher]

I just bought mine as well. If the cougars are negatively impacting the deer herd, I want to do my part and take one if I see one.

Same here. Don't actively hunt them, but buy a tag every year "just in case."

Wish Colorado had these... Had one pass by me last night at 80 yards.

I had never really paid attention to mountain lions, as I had not seen to many of them. But in the last few years, with spending even less time in the hills then I did when I was younger without a family/kids. I have seen more cats each year consecutively.

so I picked one up.

This trail cam pic was taken about a mile from my cabin in Colorado. That said, in over 30 years of hunting and summer hiking trips in CO, I have never seen a cat

Won't hurt to have a tag, you never know when you may just walk right into one.....or two.

Az used to sell them to you for $1. Shot my lion while it was putting a stalk on some bighorns in the Galuiro mountains.

I wish Colorado would do the same.

can you still use your Idaho deer tag on a lion??.....I always thought that was a good regulation.....

California sold out on lion tags years ago

 

[264mag]

Those lions are now feasting on the Tule Elk Herd just west of Williams California

 

[txhunter58]

I hear they are now killing more lions in CA (problem ones) than hunters were killing before the ban

40 years of hunting and exploring tge great outdoors i have yet to see a mountain lion that was not crossing through my head lights at night.
But as long as the DWR will let me have a tag I will be carrying one on my pocket.
It is $ 30 to the DWR but it might be a dead cat in the back of my pickup

 

[deerkiller]

I haven’t Personally seen a lion for a couple years now, but before then I would see at least 1 a year. Hope I see one this year!

Have a friend from back East that got one on his deer license I think 3 yrs ago, I wouldn’t mind using a deer tag on a lion or a wolf and yes I believe Idaho still lets you do it.

 

[fullthrottle]

One of the best things Utah has done in a long time. Still wish they worked it like Idaho, lots more guys would have the option. Shot one a couple years ago in Idaho on the archery elk hunt, but didn’t end up finding it. Sucks, I would have much rather got a lion then an elk. Looked like a big sucker.

 

[Blank]

Yes, in Idaho you can still use your non-resident deer or elk tags to take a black bear, mt lion, or wolf. Conditional that a deer or elk season is open where you are, and also that the season is open for whatever other species you take. For a lot of NR's, it would be a no-brainer to take a animal you might never see or hunt any other way!!

Oregon has a lot of cougar and unlimited over the counter tags. You can even kill two with the additional cougar tag after you check in #1. Spot and stalk or calling is whats legal. They make excellent taco's.

?. Never know. Better prepared.
