The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has scheduled six public meetings throughout the state to receive input from Florida hunters on possible changes to the state's hunting zones and corresponding deer hunting season dates.
The FWC wants to solicit as much public comment as possible, and everyone is invited. If changes are approved by the Commission, they could take effect as early as the 2010-2011 hunting season.
