Colorado Parks and Wildlife will be hosting seven public meetings around the Western Slope to discuss the agency’s new mountain lion management plan.<\/p>\n

CPW will be in Grand County at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the CSU Extension Hall in Kremmling to review and discuss the new plan. The agency especially encourages hunters, farmers, ranchers, outfitters and landowners to attend.<\/p>\n

The new plan looks at managing mountain lion populations from a regional scale, instead of the smaller, localized scale that had been previously used, according to a CPW news release on the meetings.<\/p>\n

“Current research, however, shows that managing mountain lions on a landscape scale is more appropriate and effective,” the release said.<\/p>\n

The managers have also reviewed studies on mountain lions from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana to help establish population and harvest objectives that match the science.<\/p>\n

The meeting will help wildlife managers make decisions around population goals, harvest objectives and the license-setting process. <\/p>\n

“Big game management plans provide guidance to wildlife managers who attempt to balance the biological capabilities of animals, their habitat and public requests for wildlife-related recreation opportunities,” the release explained.<\/p>\n
