Figure 2. Verified mountain lion locations, and harvest and non-harvest mortalities in North Dakota (2007) n=66. The NDGFD received results from three scat samples that had been found at locations of reported sightings and sent to the USDA FSRMRS for analyses. The first sample was collected on 22 June 2007 at a radiocollared bighorn sheep kill site in the Badlands. The scat was confirmed to be from a male mountain lion. The second sample was collected in the Badlands near a suspected lion track on 13 October 2007. This scat was identified as being from a coyote (Canis latrans). The third sample was collected on 29 November 2007, at a potential scrape site in the vicinity of several reported sightings of the animal near Jamestown, North Dakota (Stutsman County); this scat was identified as being from a domestic house cat. A total of six mountain lions were harvested in North Dakota during the 2007-08 mountain lion hunting season. The season for Zone 1 ended on 10 November 2007, when the quota of five animals was filled. Five female mountain lions (1 adult; 4 subadults) were harvested in Zone 1 (Table 3). Two of the subadult females (F23 and F24) were reported to have been traveling with two other lions at the time of their deaths. Female lion F19 was estimated to be a 4-year-old animal that had a past litter of two Proceedings of the Ninth Mountain Lion Workshop 97
