Open season (hunting)

Open season is a hunting term used to describe the time of the year when a particular wildlife species is allowed to be hunted as per local wildlife conservation law. It is timed to occur when the population is at its maximum and to avoid periods of vulnerability, it avoids the peak breeding period when members of a species are particularly vulnerable and avoids any disruption to mating, which may affect productivity^[1].

By extension, the period that is not the "Open season" is known as the "Closed season".
