58 UTAH MOUNTAIN LION STATUS REPORT · McLaughlin composed of mostly subadults and youngeraged adults. The proportion of adult females in the harvest is assumed to increase with increasing harvest pressure, and the threshold level chosen for sustainability in Utah (>40%) is based upon research from several western states. However, managers are evaluating small management units, some containing
understanding with UDWR. Their reports are compiled on a fiscal year basis (and therefore numbers/year differ from those reported in Table 1), and confirm livestock losses ranging from $53,700 to $97,700 per year since 1998 (Table 2). Cougars were implicated in 74-114 separate depredation incidents per year during this period, killing 548-805 sheep, cattle and goats annually (Table 2). RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS UDWR is funding research conducted through the Utah State University, under the direction of Dr. Michael Wolfe. This research has been ongoing on two study sites since 1995, and is directed at determining means of quantifying cougar populations and evaluating the effects of harvesting on them. Field research is currently underway by David Stoner, MS candidate. Recent Publications MAXFIELD, BRIAN D. 2002. Utah cougar harvest report 1998-1999.
