Wyoming Game & Fish Comission Meeting July 28th & 29th - Saratoga, Wyoming

Runs through Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The regulations, proposed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, would exclude many types of mountain lion deaths that currently count toward overall hunting quotas.

Deaths that count toward the quota would change from "any human-caused mountain lion death documented by the department" to "any legal or illegal human-caused mountain lion death, excluding mountain lions taken by the department, mountain lions

[killed for causing damage to property]

, and known natural or accidental mountain lion deaths," said Tim Fuchs, wildlife supervisor for the Game and Fish Jackson Region.

The rules would also eliminate distinctions between male and female cats that could be killed by hunters.

That means Area 2 north of Jackson would go from an overall quota of seven human-caused deaths, with a limit of three females, to an overall hunting quota of five of either sex. Area 29, south of town, would go from an overall quota of nine, with a four-female limit, to a hunting quota of six.

Eliminating the female limit "gives a much truer picture" for wildlife managers to use when deciding how many cats should be hunted in a given hunt area, Fuchs said.

Fuchs said areas 2 and 29 would still be managed so that the number of mountain lions in those hunting areas will remain high enough to produce a surplus of cats that contributes animals to the region.

Conservation groups, however, say the changes could mean people kill more mountain lions in Wyoming.

Sara Carlson, director of programs and operations for The Cougar Fund, said the proposed changes would be a huge step backward for Wyoming's cougar population.

"Wyoming refuses to utilize peer-reviewed research to manage cougars and is falling victim to politics," she said in an e-mail.

People can see the proposed changes at gf.state.wy.us/admin/Regs/index.asp.

Written comments will be accepted through 5 p.m. today by mailing: Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Regulations, 3030 Energy Lane, Casper, WY 82604. All comments will be presented to the Game and Fish Commission before its July 28-29 meeting in Saratoga.

New Mexico Letter October 2010

Sara Carlson | 2010-10-01

	0510 MT comments - 170.4KB We are extremely concerned to see an exceptionally high quota increase that is not evenly distributed across the state - specifically a 72% increase in Hunting Region 2. In addition, we believe that not including all mortalities in the quota increases the potential to substantially alter populations. Including all mortalities increases accountability on the part of the public, as well as the Department, and is becoming the trend in states that use progressive and modern management techniques.
	New Mexico Letter Director 7/21/08 - 88.1KB The Cougar Fund would like to ask the state of New Mexico to re-evaluate the section of the Big Game Management plan regarding cougars. The Cougar Fund fails to find scientific evidence that supports increasing harvest limits in section 29, 30 & 31.
	New Mexico Ltr. 1010 - 147.1KB We highly recommend that quotas be maintained at the 2008/10 level of 490 and 126 for females.
	North Dakota Press Release 8/6/08 - 129.5KB The Cougar Fund's comments on the North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department’s decision to increase the number of mountain lions that can be killed by hunters this season in zone one, from five to eight.
	South Dakota Comments July 2010 - 158.8KB On behalf of the Cougar Fund and our members, we present comments on the Draft South Dakota Mountain Lion Management Plan 2010-2015. The Cougar Fund, a national nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of the cougar throughout its present and historic range, works on behalf of its members to ensure that cougar management, as well as management of their prey, are always held to the highest standards of peer-reviewed science. In addition to educating the public about the many issues that surround cougars, we look to balance human interests with healthy cougar populations.
	WA Cougar Pilot Program Amendments - 22KB As a public institution with an obligation to serve the public interest, WDFW’s claim that recreational hunting is an effective and necessary management to address human-safety, human-livestock or predator-prey imbalances is wrong when empirical data to support this claim is lacking. Long-term management of healthy populations ought to be the result of the Cougar Pilot Program, however we have found that this program is skewing cougar populations towards younger aged animals.
	WY 0610 - 172.6KB On behalf of the Cougar Fund and our members, we present these comments on theproosed changes to the mountain lion regulations - chapter 42. We appreciate the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's (WGFD) efforts to assemble public meetings across the state to discuss and take comments on the proposed regulations, but we do believe the Department should have ensured that personnel knowledgeable about the entire state and state objectives should have attended each meeting in addition to local game officers. From our review of the proposed changes and "Statement of Reason", The Cougar Fund would like to provide several recommendations and comments.
