ABERDEEN, South Dakota — South Dakota
 wildlife officials have set
the hunting season for mountain lions.

The Aberdeen American News reports
 that the state Game, Fish and
 Parks Commission voted unanimously
 open the mountain lion season
 from Dec. 26 to March 31, 2014.

The 2014 season would allow for a
 statewide harvest limit of 75
mountain lions or 50 females

. If the limit is not met by the end
 of the season, it could be
 extended by special resolution.

The number of mountain lions allowed
 to be harvested in 2013 was
 100, or 70 female cats.

South Dakota hunters last year killed
 61 mountain lions, including
 35 female cats. Officials say 4,351
 mountain lion licenses were
 issued last season
