In Montana, non-residents may hunt a mountain lion with one of the following three license options – Restricted OTC Mountain Lion License (archery season and fall season without dogs), Limited Mountain Lion License (limited to 10% of the quota or less), or Unlimited Mountain Lion License. Applicants must possess a current year conservation license and a base hunting license to apply for or purchase any mountain lion license. A hunter may purchase only one mountain lion license per year. An unlimited mountain lion license is valid until the quotas are filled or the season is closed, whichever occurs first, and is only valid in the region, LMU, or group of LMUs specified on the license. Each unit has its own harvest limit. Archery season without dogs is the beginning of September until the middle of October. Fall season without dogs is from the end of October until the beginning of December. And the big season, the winter season, goes from the beginning of December until the middle of April.
