The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has passed new rules that affect hunting on many of the state’s wildlife management areas.
One of the new rules establishes two-day, Saturday-Sunday youth turkey hunts on 78 state-managed areas, all of which support adequate turkey populations.
The hunts will begin with the 2012 season.
It also creates a youth turkey quota permit.
Forty-nine of the 78 Wildlife Management Areas will require the permits.
The other statewide rule removes the one-gun restriction on all hog quota hunts using dogs.
Currently, these “hog-dog” quota hunts allow only one hunter (permit-holder), one gun, one assistant and up to three dogs.
An additional person also may join the hunting party, if a guest permit is obtained in that person’s name.
But starting with the 2011-12 hunting season, each participant will be allowed to hunt with a gun.
