Evolution of mountain lion management in North Dakota, 2011-2014
2014 Conference Proceeding
Management of mountain lions in North Dakota focused on human conflicts and harvest management during the past 3 years. Also during this time, the first active research project on mountain lions in North Dakota began. This first phase of research concentrated on adult mountain lion survival and food habits as a scientific comparison to landowner and hunter concerns. Landowner tolerance for mountain lions remains low. Additionally, mountain lions continue to be a scapegoat for low mule deer numbers. An upcoming second phase of research will attempt to verify our population and habitat models, so that a realistic level of certainty can be achieved to aid in harvest management. The small population size of mountain lions in North Dakota adds challenges to the species' management.
