CHANGES TO COUGAR MANAGEMENT
In spring 2011, the Utah Wildlie Boardrequested that the Division link cougar managementto the management o deer, their primary prey. TheDivision recommended some management changes,which the Wildlie Board approved in August 2011.Among the biggest changes is the creation o eight large cougar management areas that mirrorthe areas where an adult deer survival study is nowunderway. Those cougar management areas containthe limited-entry, split and harvest-objectivehunting units that cougar hunters are likely amiliarwith. There is also one cougar management areamade up o units that are home to large numbers o bighorn sheep. You can see a map o all nine cougarmanagement areas on pages 24–25.There are additional changes that involveharvest quotas and when the Division will close acougar management area or the season.
Beoreyou hunt any o these areas—particularlytheir harvest-objective units—call 1-888-668-5466 or visit
wildlife.utah.gov/cougar
