The general season for cougar is from November 1, 1980 through April 15, 1981. In portions of Garfield, Iron, Kane and Washington counties, the season will be year-round with 25 permits available for a second cougar. Only male lions will be legal to take from December 1, 1980 through February 28, 1981 in Daggett, Duchesne and Uintah counties. The number of restricted cougar permits remained the same as last year in northern Utah, but only male lions can be taken this year. Wasatch county is open for the general season but is also restricted to male only. Open season for bear will be from April 16, 1980 through June 30, 1980, and September 1, 1980 through October 15, 1980. Three restricted permits will be issued for Summit County, and again this year only archers can use bait stations.
