Wyoming Mountain Lion Hunting 2025

The mountain lion season runs from September 1st until March 31st in most cases. There are a few outliers. Each hunt area has its own set mortality limit that will close that hunt area. There are three areas currently that allow for an unlimited number of cats to be harvested and one that has a resident/non-resident split for mortality. The only areas in the state you can use a reduced-price mountain lion permit for are areas 5, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 19, 24, 25, 27, and 31. A hunter may receive a maximum of one full-priced mountain lion license and a maximum of one reduced-priced mountain lion license per calendar year.
