Units with an April Mountain Lion Season
In 2014, an April season was established to provide for additional lion hunting opportunity in DAUs where harvest, total mortality, and female composition objectives are not being met and where an April season is not in conflict with other local wildlife resource and land management priorities including sage-grouse lekking, big game winter range closures, and turkey hunting. Criteria for an open April season are reviewed annually and recommendations are presented and approved by the Wildlife Commission each January. View the approved units with an April season. This map is updated in late February to show open unit groups for April 1-30. Be sure to check the year at the bottom of the map before planning your April hunt to make sure units are open, as they can change annually. Units with open April seasons also have those dates shown in the middle season dates column of the "Available Lion Harvest Limit Report" (linked at top of page).
