We have lots of Lions here in SE Idaho but few Outfitters because there are so many locals that have hounds. We have a quota on females, once that quota is met they shut the season down. We always hit the quota quite early in the season.
I live right next to a very large winter range for mule deer & as soon as the deer migrate in the lions follow. This area is only a mile from my house, many times we have deer in our yard every night during the winter.
