close season
Wildlife protection period
Close season is the period when hunting or fishing a particular species is prohibited, allowing populations to recover and breed undisturbed.
The term is primarily British; Americans typically say closed season.
Figuratively, a close season is any time when certain activities are restricted or discouraged: There's no close season on political fundraising anymore.
