Notice to Cougar Hunters! Wildlife staff and academic partners have deployed radio collars on cougars in the Cariboo region to study prey selection, habitat use and dispersal in areas overlapping a threatened caribou population. This research is addressing critical knowledge gaps. The loss of a collared cougar represents a significant setback. Therefore, we are requesting that hunters do not harvest a radio-collared cougar in the region until the study concludes in winter 2026/27. |
