The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be accepting applications June 1-30 to be included in a random drawing for quota permits to hunt on wildlife management areas (WMAs) next season.
On many WMAs, quota permits are required for hunters wishing to hunt during specified periods of the general gun season as well as for other hunts, including the archery and muzzleloading gun seasons. Quota permits are also required for hunts involving airboats, track vehicles, youths, families and mobility-impaired persons.
Major changes beginning this year to the quota program make quota hunt permits nontransferable, including permits for hunts specifically for mobility-impaired persons. This change is to help ensure a fairer distribution of permits among hunters. In addition, the FWC established a guest permit so quota permit holders can take someone hunting with them, if the guest applies under the quota permit holder's customer ID number.
Worksheets are available under "Limited Entry Hunts" at MyFWC.com/hunting. They also will be available from county tax collectors' offices, license agents and FWC regional offices.
To apply, take a worksheet to any license agent or tax collector's office or apply online at http://wildlifelicense.com from 10 a.m. (EDT) June 1 through midnight June 30.
Worksheets for recreational use permits are available at MyFWC.com/hunting. The FWC will issue recreational use permits on a first-come, first-served basis from10 a.m. (EDT) June 4, 2009 through March 31, 2010.
Visit MyFWC.com/hunting and select "Limited Entry Hunts" for more information on how to apply for permits, application periods and deadlines.
