Peterson, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — A DNR Biologist confirms that a mountain lion was killed near Peterson last month. Vince Evelsizer is an expert on fur-bearing animals.

Evelsizer tells KICD News the presence of the animal was known but not publicized.

Evelsizer says enforcement authorities are not involved in the case, since harvesting mountain lions is not illegal.

 

Evelsizer asks the public to contact any DNR officer – or to reach out to him directly – if you think you spot a mountain lion.
