With only 59 mountain lions in Nebraska, the state wants yet another hunt! Please comment on this irresponsible proposal by June 19.

In 2018, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission approved the first mountain lion hunt in the state since 2014. At that time, biologists estimated that around 59 total mountain lions, including kittens, lived in the Pine Ridge region. During this last season, hunters killed three males and two females. In the past 12 months, six additional mountain lion deaths were reported in the Pine Ridge region.

Without knowing how many kittens would be adding to the population, having a current population estimate, or knowledge of how many mountain lions that migrated to or from the area, Nebraska Game and Parks is once again proposing another hunt.

If another hunt is permitted, hunters will be able to kill up to 8 total mountain lions or 4 females. Contact Nebraska Game and Parks Commission TODAY to tell them to say NO to another hunt!

Allowing hunters to kill lions in such a small population is terrible
