The law requires the carcass to be examined by a Wildlife Department employee, such as a game warden or biologist, but no Oklahoman has ever brought a dead mountain lion to the agency under those circumstances. It is currently illegal to actively hunt mountain lions in Oklahoma, but since 2007 it has been legal to shoot the animal if a person feels threatened or is protecting livestock or pets. Most mountain lion hunting is done with dogs. Texas, New Mexico and Colorado are neighboring states which allow some form of mountain lion hunting.
"But as far as we can tell, those don't extend very far into the Panhandle area and some of the northern reaches of Oklahoma." "In certain areas we know that there are home ranges that extend into Oklahoma from other states," Davis said at the time. Last month, Jerrod Davis, the Wildlife Department's furbearing biologist and mountain lion coordinator, participated in a question and answer session on social media about Oklahoma's mountain lions. State wildlife officials believe the mountain lions in the state are mostly transients, young males on the roam looking to establish a territory of their own. In 2019, there were five confirmed sightings by state wildlife officials, tying the previous high in 2011. Osage County had three confirmed sightings, Pushmataha had two, and Cimarron and Pawnee counties each had one. Seven sightings last year of mountain lions were confirmed to be true by the Wildlife Department.

Jager said there are apparently some in Murdock's district who are interested in guiding hunters for mountain lions, although the bill doesn't contain specific language about guiding.
"They are a very elusive cat, but we know they exist (in Oklahoma)," said Corey Jager, legislative liaison for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. But does Oklahoma have a sustainable population of mountain lions to support hunting? No one seems sure. The bill passed last week out of the Senate Agricultural and Wildlife Committee, which Murdock chairs. Murdock runs a cow-calf operation in Cimarron County, the westernmost county in Oklahoma which has the second-most number of confirmed sightings of mountain lions in the state, only behind Osage County. Casey Murdock, R-Felt, has introduced a bill that proposes a lottery or draw for mountain lion hunting with a limit of five cougars that could be taken. An Oklahoma lawmaker is calling for the state to open its first hunting season on mountain lions.
