Black Bear Hunting Season Closures

Print

Most of Montana’s spring black bear hunting areas closed May 15.  A few bear management units close in late May or June.  Black bear hunting closes in a 500 series bear management unit at the time a black bear quota or sub-quota is reached.

For season dates in a specific bear management unit, check the 2003 Montana Black Bear Hunting Regulations.  For notices on closures when management unit quotas are met, check the FWP web site at fwp.state.mt.us , or call the 24-hour information hotline at 406-247-2970.
