BORK: I went to GF.STATE.WY.US
Looked up NON RESIDENT (LICENSES)
Left side of page under HUNTING
Looked up non-resident Mountain Lion Full Price
And came up with $362.00
Take a look.
Picked up my RES Mountain Lion License today. More a case of 'opportunity' than actually hunting one.
Good luck. Hope you find a trophy tom.

BORK There IS a 'reduced price' Mountain Lion license for Non-resident hunters.
The cost is $92.00.
I AM NOT an expert on how the F&G derives 'reduced price' except by reviewing 'reduced price' for other species and applying it to the ML.
When they establish how many licenses they want to sell for a certain species? often they will ADD licenses at a 'reduced price' because there are more animals than previously projected. Also, if they DON'T sell expected licenses at 'full price', they will sell the rest at 'reduced price'. In the case of deer, etc. the licenses are aimed and doe/fawn.
HOW this applies to ML I can't say.
Call 1-307-777-4600 (F&G) for additional answers to your questions.
We have always bought 'full price' licenses for everything.
Just picked up my ML license yesterday and have established a hunt area for Sept. 01 through a friend who owns a LARGE ranch on the west side of the Bighorns. According to them there are more cats there than necessary.
This year will be the first time we will actively pursue hunting/calling them in. Prior to this it was 'target of opportunity' kind of deal. There is a mortality table established for each of the hunt areas. I pimped the game warden one day by telling him that since the immediate area that we live in has a limit of 4 for the season? IF we found one here? We would rope him up, drag him two miles north into the next area(limit 21) and then put him down. He laughed at us. I wonder why?!!!
Good luck on your hunting the ML....

We found a cougar track at a water hole on the west side, way back on a dead end trail, many miles off the highway. Wolf track there, and a monster bear track in the mud.

TAC: We've been over to that side trying to determine when/if the elk were EVER going to cross to the west. Nice looking country over there - thats for sure. We traveled all over the top on hunt mountain road and one other that comes out close to the lodge on top on 16. Never did find those elk. When it got colder and we were in Ill./Iowa those elk showed up in SHELL CANYON. So it goes.
BORK Your welcome. Hope this helps you with your quest.

The water hole was west and north of that road.
