The hunting of all mountain lions in southwestern Montana hunting districts 390, 391 and 392, which include portions of Broadwater, Gallatin, Meagher and Lewis and Clark counties, will close at one-half hour after sunset on Saturday, November 13, 2004. 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.
