The order closing the Fall Hunting Season Without Dogs came shortly after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials received word that the pre-established harvest sub-quota for lions in the districts combined had been met.   These districts will re-open for the hunting of all mountain lions for the Winter Season beginning December 1, 2004.
