We studied characteristics of a hunted cougar (Felis concolor) population in southwestern between 1981 and 1989 to support development of a species management plan. Although most cougars did not maintain separate summer and winter home ranges, the size of these ranges varied. Mean summer and winter home ranges for female residents were 87±8.5 (SE) and 97±8.2 km 2 , respectively. Male home ranges were larger (P<0.0001); summer and winter home ranges averaged 314±62.9 and 204±34.0 km, respectively
