SD Mt. lion hunting is divided into the Black Hills Fire Protection District and every where else (Prairie unit). In the Prairie Unit there is 365 day hunting with no  harvest limit and hound hunting is allowed on private land (with land owner/lessor permission) and moving from private land to BLM and State School Lands. Hound hunting is allowed in Custer State Park in two week time segments alternating with two weeks of “boot hunting” (boot = no hounds used). The first two week session is given to hound hunting and thus for many years the boot hunters are out-competed and  have not gotten any lions. \nThe hunting season on the Black Hills Unit is too aggressive and will result in decreasing populations\, perhaps dropping below the population below the population goals that SDGFP wants. We suggest  at least lowering the female lion harvest limit in the Black Hills unit. \nWe suggest people object to hound hunting of lions\, which occurs on Custer State Park (a sub-set of Black Hills unit) and in the Prairie unit. You can object due to 1. animal cruelty to both  dogs and lions\, 2. not fair chase\, 3. provides huge advantage of success for hound hunters vs boot hunters  4. creates trespass risk\, 5. disturbs non-target wildlife\, livestock and other human users.  However they are making a specific change to increase hound hunting..by increasing the area of public land in the Prairie Unit where hound hunters can travel from private land to hunt on public land\, to  include all of public lands unless public land manager specifically objects. Previously public land hound hunting in the Prairie unit was limited to expanding onto BLM and State School lands. . You can object specifically to that proposed increase in hound hunting area on the Prairie Unit. \nWe suggest allowing the boot hunters the first two week session in Custer State Park\, for sake of boot hunters\, lions & dogs. \nWritten comments can be submitted at https://gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/ or at https://rules.sd.gov/Comments.aspx?Id=669 \n============= \n\nSD has some Native American reservations with mountain lions with proof of breeding that are not covered by SDGFP regulations as their tribal lands are in alternate jurisdictions. \nPrairie Hills Audubon Society had a Zoom meeting on Regional Mountain Lions on August 16th.  This has much info. on SD cougars.                                                                                                 The meeting is recorded to the on Zoom cloud (The cloud location is only temporary) \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/-YO-I-X4aOvglkZW7MZb3vmnrlIyj-HQv9Q2-srPUlRrguUYC4VSNt8t2uh1B6M.TvIpASLembReeBp5          Passcode: 7Nar+g9n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Recording also is on Vimeo for the long term .
