We expect SDGFP to submit their report on the results of the 2024-2025 mountain lion hunting season and their rule proposal for mountain lion hunting for the next 2 years.

They have released a proposal to allow hound hunting in the southern and SE side of the Black Hills Fire Protection District – with 15 lions to be killed via hunting.  The proposals can be found in the Commission book. The Commission moved the cougar hunting proposal forward to finalization (vote) at their September meeting.

GFP summary:

“Mountain Lion Season

The Commission proposed to expand the season dates for hunting intervals allowing the use of dogs and increase the unit size where hunting with dogs is allowed in the Black Hills Fire Protection District. The proposal would eliminate the requirement for access permits to hunt mountain lions in Custer State Park without the use of dogs.

Hunting mountain lions in the designated area with the use of dogs will be allowed for a total of fifteen individuals with access permits, provided the harvest limits have not been met. Three access permits will be issued in each of the five 21 day intervals, starting Dec. 26.”

The Black Hills Beaver Action Plan was also  up for approval; the final version has  some changes to the draft – it was approved.

Fee schedule for the Shooting Range off of Elk Vale road was up for approval & was approved. Access to some areas of the Range will be free and some will need fee for access.

 

Suggested that you contact Gail Buus in advance to register to testify remotely, see agenda. gail.buus@state.sd.us, however they allow not-registered folks to testify in person or remotely.
