The 2010 Black Hills mountain lion season came to a close Wednesday, Feb. 10, after five more cats were killed, reaching the limit of 40 lions set by the state Department of Game, Fish & Parks (GF&P).

GF&P reported 24 females and 16 males were harvested this season, which opened Jan. 1. The season was set to run until March 31 had the season limit not been reached.

The final five lions killed Wednesday were three females and two males. Those lions were killed near Wonderland Cave, Johnson Siding, Harney, Rochford and Sturgis.
