Mountain lion hunting season could open in Nebraska


When it comes to big game we hunt deer, elk, even big horned sheep here in Nebraska. But could there soon be an open season on big cats? The Game and Parks Board of Commissioners is considering just that.

They meet this Friday talking about an inaugural mountain lion hunting season.

In the past few years cougar sightings have been on the rise.

You'll remember the big story in May of 2011, when one was even shot in a residential neighborhood in Kearney.

The legislature did pass a bill last year giving the go ahead for the season.

But they left it up to Game and Parks officials to create the season and the rules surrounding hunting the big cats.
