HELENA – At its Feb. 4 meeting, the Fish and Wildlife Commission identified a new season structure for mountain lions and asked Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks to solicit public comment on specifics of the proposal. The proposal is out for comment through March 18, and FWP has scheduled two online meetings to provide information and answer questions. The Zoom meetings will be held on March 14 and 15, from 6 to 8 p.m.

This season structure under consideration would allocate harvest between unlimited licenses that will end when a quota is reached and special limited licenses. The special limited license would allow a hunter to hunt throughout the season without limitation by quota.
