Provide for mountain lion hunting permits
Nebraska's LB 1232 amends hunting laws to include mountain lions in the existing limited permit system for landowners. It allows qualifying Nebraska landowners (or their immediate family) who own or lease at least 80 acres of agricultural land to apply for a limited permit to hunt mountain lions on their property. Permits would cost half the regular fee, and the commission would establish rules for application and land eligibility. The bill directly affects landowners seeking to manage mountain lions on their agricultural land, with no new general hunting opportunities created.
