I know that biologist John Laundre is shaking his head as he reads this article...........As he will tell you,,,,,,If you keep shooting Pumas into oblivion, eventually, fewer and fewer Cats there will be...................Is the South Dakota Game Commission that clueless that they put on a straight face and boldly tell us that there will not be 100 Pumas killed when the hunt closes down next week..................Guys, you are killing them faster than they can reproduce..............Put a lid on it!!!!!!

Mountain lion totals may fall short of season limit

There's one week left in the 2013 South Dakota mountain lion hunting season.  It's looking more  and more as if hunters will get nowhere near the total season limit of 100 lions  specified by the  state Game, Fish and Parks Commission. Right now, the number of lions killed this season stands at fifty five. With only seven days left, hunters would have to bring down more than six big cats a day to reach the 100 lion limit. GF&P big game  biologist John Kanta says that won't happen. Kanta says, "Yeah. With only a week left in the season,  I don't believe that we'll make the limit of one hundred lions. Nor do  I think we'll even harvest  as many as we did last year." This would be the first time since mountain lion hunting was  re-introduced in 2005 that hunters failed to bring in the limit before the end of the mountain lion  hunting season. -Al Van Zee
