I could care less about what people do to Mountain Lions. That's all those folks in Salt Lake that want to die on that hill. I've seen California do nothing…like fish and wildlife literally don't remove mountain lions that start to move into private lands and attack lifestock and pets. Then threaten property owners to do nothing as well.To answer my fellow from utah. Yes it's ran like a resort around here and there are members of the DNR that are getting tired of it. This is article is disgraceful but I don't think it really highlights the biggest problem and that's the lack of education concerning the states. This guy is the first and sadly won't be the last. Some one got busted treeing cougars and coming back the next day with a hunter. One way to fight this is to go to the meetings and make your voice heard.
Same here how do you think they got the so called governor tags and the 400 + bulls,Utah got nothing on Montana.
We have the Governor and the legislature willing to sell our elk to rich out-of staters!
That is a pathetic truth.It's all about two things - money and agendas.
No matter where you go
You got that right our Governor appointed a new FWP commission and they did away with all but 3or4 of the Bull Elk draw areas in Montana.This thread is gonna get ugly quick. ^^You better look at your outfitters^^ as well as your governor. Most of the western states are getting big outstate money from the outfitter lobby to control land and policy. The genie is out of the bottle and the politicians have discovered the monetary and political value of our wildlife. Y'all better savor your hunting time and start saving for tags cause even residents in alot of states have a hard time getting drawn already. And it's only going to get worse.
