Mountain Lion Hunting To Close In Districts 313 And 316

The hunting of all mountain lions in southwestern Montana hunting districts 313 and 316, including portions of Park, Carbon and Sweet Grass counties, will close at one-half hour after sunset on Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

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.

These districts will re-open for the hunting of all mountain lions for the Winter Season beginning December 1, 2008.
