| The Garnet Range Mountain Lion Study - Characteristics of a hunted Population in West-central Montana | |
| 2011 Full Book | |
Similar to past research, we found no effect of harvest on reproductive parameters (i.e. litter size, birth interval, maternity, age at dispersal, and first breeding). However, our research suggests that mountain lion populations are affected by human harvest, through its additive effects on survival of all age classes and a resultant disruption of juvenile dispersal. As such, wildlife managers through the use of human harvest, have the capability to limit mountain lion population growth. |
