I was just wondering how it works in the states that are a loud to run long tails. is it unlimited on how many you can kill, are you a loud one kill a year with unlimited running them or how exactly does it work?

you can run them year round here in NV and you can buy two tags per year over the counter.

In Utah you can only take one cat, and it depends on the area. Some areas are draw only, some are draw for half the season, and over the counter for the leftovers in the unit the other half of the season or until the quota is met, and then some units are over th counter for the whole season or until the quota is met. Most units have pursuit from Nov. to June, and there are some open to pursuit year round other than a couple of days. Idaho is a one cat limit for the most part, I've heard up north you can take two. Their season is from sept to march with some shutdown during the big game seasons. Getting to run dogs in Idaho is quite the joke though, you have to draw for a very limited amount of hound handlers permits, every person in the group that has dogs or handles dogs also has to have a kill permit. And believe me all of the out of state permits for Idaho aren't even close to cheap. Wyoming I believe is aslo sept. to march and last time I checked, all you need is for a person in the group to possess a kill tag.

Arizona used to have a year round mtn lion season. Last year we lost May, June, July and August... no idea why and I sorta missed it until was putting in for Elk and happend to see the red lettered notice in the rules (ops!). No worries I didn't take one anyhow last year. Can still buy one tag over the counter tho. And as far as I could find we can run lion all year just can't shoot in those 4 months.

I once 3-4 years back tried to send an e-mail into AZ game and fish to clear up some rules on hound hunting and got back a usless message (can't hunt bears in my area that was it, I already knew that and was not asking about bears <sigh> ) Guess they realy don't care to much.

As far as I know don't need a special license to run hounds in AZ, just a hunting license and tag if you want lions or bears. No tags for smaller stuff bobcats(think ya still need a tag to sell that you buy after you have the skin)... rest of the little stuff as far as I could tell from the rules no limit.

My area don't have a general bear season (can only hunt bear with hounds in general). We have an orchard and my dogs run bears off and tree them all summer into the fall. Game warden said it was fine... get the impresion he would rather not get called to deal with "problem bears" and is happy we are able to handle things just fine most years.

Where I live in Region 1 in 90% of the Hunting Districts its a permit only. Whether hunting permit only or quota, only 1 can be harvested by a hunter. Once the objective is met it closes to harvest.
