Mountain Lion harvest down from previous years
Unseasonably warm temperatures and low snowfall are possible factors
The hunting season is over but sportsmen did 'not' get the lion's share this year.
Mountain lion harvest season ended Tuesday and the official numbers are in.
Hunters took down 43 cats, 10 fewer than last year.
Outdoor Campus West wildlife biologist Steve Griffin says less snow this year helped hunters find lion tracks but official data is not yet processed.

"We haven't analyzed the data but the hunters that did harvest lions were using the same methods that were used in the past," he said "And with snow or without snow, the methods still work and generally they were calling lions in."
Still hungry for more hunting? Spring archery turkey season opens this weekend and firearm season begins next week. Each season runs through May 17th.
