G.F.&P. taking comments on mountain lion action plan

PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) is seeking additional comments on the draft Mountain Lion Action plan.

The draft Mountain Lion Action plan, 2024-2028, is a document that will be used by GFP to guide mountain lion management in South Dakota through identified management objectives and measurable strategies to meet those management objectives.

At the September GFP Commission meeting, the Commission’s request was to reduce the Black Hills population objective from 200-300 to 150-250 total mountain lions. Therefore, additional opportunity for public comment is being made available and final adoption of the revised action plan will occur at the October GFP Commission meeting.

All individuals interested in mountain lion management in South Dakota may provide suggestions and comments on the revised action plan by September 25, 2024.

The complete plan can be found online at gfp.sd.gov/management-plans.

Written comments on the plan can be sent to 523 E. Capitol Ave., Pierre, S.D. 57501, or submitted at gfp.sd.gov/forms/positions/. Comments must be received by the respective deadline and include your full name and city of residence.
