Anyone have any information on "best management practices" as it relates to trapping cougar?
Not seeing any listed on multiple sites relating to trapping other animals.
Any help is appreciated.

Nothing on the IAFW site. Closest applicable animal may be the wolf BMP. Would be interesting to see if they will do one especially with how bad the big cats are getting to be.

Might be something your state association may want to do on their own, or with your state's wildlife biologists if they are helpful.

I worked as one of the team members establishing the BMP's years ago. Russ Carman, my team and several others were assigned trap testing data for coyotes.

Wolf and Cougar standards would be something that would have to be researched for that specific data. I have not seen it or researched for those two species.

I could not find a state that allows trapping of mountain lion. The ones I found allow hunting but state no trapping allowed. Might be why no BMP is available.

iirc, Texas allows trapping and NWCOs in Oklahoma can.
