The season starts with the new year. It will be open statewide through March 31, or until 70 total lions or 50 females are killed.

This year's season had a quota of 45 total lions or 30 females. State biologists are letting hunters shoot more cougars next year to help increase the Black Hills populations of elk and deer.
