Bowhunting in Florida
Bowhunting in Florida even when the weather is agreeing is hard to do, but fun all the same. Early season bowhunting issues are numerous, but I can think of three (3) major ones that have haunted me since the very early 1970s – staying hydrated, cooling off in the heat, and fighting insects. I believe all three (3) areas are a lot easier today to deal with than they were 35 to 40 years ago. Read More...

Florida deer hunters now need a new $5 permit, starting with the 2010-2011 hunting season.
This just was released by the Florida Wildlife Commission. Below is the entire release from the FWC.
Deer hunters will need new permit this season
News Release
July 16, 2010
Contact: Office of Licensing & Permitting, 850-488-3641
Beginning with the upcoming 2010-2011 hunting season, anyone hunting deer in Florida will need a deer permit. The new permit costs $5 and is available now for purchase.
Those with a Sportsman's License, Gold Sportsman's License, 64 or Older Sportsman's License, Military Gold Sportsman's License, Lifetime Hunting License or Lifetime Sportsman's License will not need to purchase the new deer permit, because it already is included in each of these licenses, even if they were purchased before July 1.
However, the deer permit is not included with a hunting license, combination hunting/freshwater fishing license, combination hunting/freshwater/saltwater license or a five-year hunting license. Anyone hunting deer with either of these licenses must also buy the $5 deer permit to hunt deer legally.
Funds generated by the new permit will be earmarked to support deer management and deer research. Funds also will support ongoing efforts to monitor Florida's deer herd for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved a "Strategic Plan for Deer Management in Florida: 2008-2018" in February 2008. Critical to success of this plan is establishing deer management units and a harvest-reporting system; both have been identified as top priorities by the agency and its stakeholders to better manage deer.
People can purchase all permits and related licenses from their county tax collector, retail outlets that sell fishing and hunting supplies, online at www.fl.wildlifelicense.com or by calling toll-free 888-HUNT-FLORIDA (486-8356).
