All mountain lion hunting to close in HDs 405, 447 and 471

HELENA – The hunting of all mountain lions in northcentral Montana hunting districts 405, 447 and 471, which includes portions of Cascade, Chouteau, Judith Basin and Fergus counties, will close at one-half hour after sunset on Thursday, Oct. 28. 

The order halting the hunt came shortly after Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials received word that the pre-established harvest quota for the districts combined had been met.

These hunting districts may re-open, depending on sub-quota and quotas filled during the fall season, for the hunting of all mountain lions for the winter season beginning Dec. 1.
