BowHuntAZ Report post Posted March 17, 2017 As an RMEF member I got an email about it this morning Let's not turn into another Commiefornia and get our senator to vote NO to this bill. https://elknetwork.com/take-action-az-sb-1182-attempts-ban-huntingtrapping-mountain-lions-bobcats/#/8/ Vote No on SB 1182, the bill to ban mountain lion and bobcat hunting in Arizona!The Arizona Senate will soon consider a bill to ban the hunting and trapping of mountain lions and bobcats in the state. SB 1182 would remove these animals from the list of big game animals that are managed by the Arizona Department of Fish and Game and instead make them protected species. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation believes managed hunting and trapping of predators—including mountain lions and bobcats—plays a vital role in effectively balancing wildlife populations and encourages you to request your legislator vote against this misguided legislation. Mountain lion populations have grown substantially alongside deer and elk populations in many areas—showing the value of careful management. In some cases, mountain lion populations have grown so much that they negatively impact other wildlife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
