I’d really like the opportunity to see mountain lions survive so my kids and their kids have that opportunity. If you believe we should have seasons, bag limits and regulations on Whitetail deer, why the heck wouldn’t you ant one on Mountain Lions?
    Agreed wholeheartedly. If it helps TPWD and conservation activities it works for me.

      I think it would be good to take a closer look at lion management.

      I’m also greatly confused as to why lions, elk, and bison are non-game animals (even though they’re all native), and pheasants have a season and are regulated.

          This has always drives me crazy. Those **** birds are put on a pedestal and worshipped when who’s knows how much damage they have caused to native species. Need eradicated like feral hogs.

              I don't think you can compare a mountain lion to another species, it is unique. I have no problem with hunting them but they do need to be managed. There are a lot of folks out there being irresponsible with their methods.

                I am cool with a 1 annual limit and permit , and a depredation license!
                And lots of species that need monitoring that don’t due to stolen funding

                    THAT may be a great way to manage the lion population, you have to kill a black lion before the less common brown ones! I personally think they’re doing just fine now, but I have no data to back that up with……

                      If that happens then how long before a black barn cat gets shot?

                            I saw one one Margie’s place the last day we were on the lease. Elton and I made one last pass through the place after we had loaded all our crap, topped a hill and there one stood at the bottom of the hill, we stopped, it looked at us, we looked at it and in about two bounds, it was gone….

                              I think TPWD would prefer this issue go away.

                              Authors of this petition have an agenda, and they definitely do not represent the vast majority of landowners that are actually effected by lions.

                              It doesn’t look like this petition wish list is going anywhere anytime soon, except for the creation of advisory committee. Lion population is thriving, maybe better than ever.

                              Issue definitely isn’t going to die though.
