The hunting of all mountain lions in northcentral Montana hunting districts 405, 447 and 471, in portions of Cascade, Chouteau, Judith Basin, and Fergus counties, will close at one-half hour after sunset on Thursday, November 25, 2004.     

The order halting the hunt came shortly after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials received word that the pre-established harvest sub-quota for the districts combined had been met during the Fall Hunting Season without Dogs.   These hunting districts will re-open for the hunting of male mountain lions for the winter season beginning December 1, 2004.
