Hunting season
A hunting season is the designated time period during which wild animals can be legally hunted in designated areas, typically issued by the formal game law of a sovereign state, which specifies the calendar dates, the time of the day and bag limits of the target animal allowed for hunting, and such rules are often enforced by conservation officers. The permitted dates within the hunting season are referred to as open season, while other unpermitted dates outside the designated hunting season are called closed season.
