The season for Canada geese closes Dec. 25, except the Missouri River Zone closes Jan. 2, 2009. High plains duck hunting continues through Jan. 4, 2009.
Archery deer, sharp-tailed and ruffed grouse, partridge, pheasant and tree squirrel hunting seasons continue through Jan. 4, 2009.
The fall wild turkey season closes Jan. 11, 2009.
Bobcat, mink and weasel hunting and trapping, and muskrat trapping are open through March 8, 2009. The muskrat hunting season closes May 3, 2009.
The mountain lion season in Zone 2 is open through March 31, 2009. The mountain lion season in Zone 1 is currently open, but will close immediately after the next lion is taken in that zone. Zone 1 has a season harvest quota of eight lions, and as of Dec. 15, seven have been taken.
Fox, coyote, raccoon, badger and beaver hunting and trapping are open year-round.
