Those pictures are all from the same camera over the last 2 summers.

This GMU is one that will close to lion hunting 1/2.

Last year, hunters harvested 182 cougars statewide, up from 156 in 2012, 145 in 2011, and 108 in 2010. Ware said the number of cougars harvested this season is expected to be similar to last year.

It proved that Number of harvest increased faster this year than last year because Last  year they closed end of March but this year they push back early to close Jan 2 cuz its over population make easier for any hunter to shoot.  It increased almost as Twice since 2010.  It's going out of Control for sure.

I think all of the GMU's on the west side of the Blues closed on 31 Dec last year.  We have a few that will be open for a little longer this year.....a week or two maybe.
