FWC approves increase to daily bag limit of wild turkeys on private land

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted this week to increase the daily hunting bag limit of wild turkeys on private lands.

Under the new rule, the daily harvest limit per hunter will increase from one bearded turkey or gobbler per day to two on private lands.

This is a statewide change and will affect both the fall and spring turkey hunting seasons.

That means hunters may still only take a total of two turkeys during the fall and another two during the spring season, but what changes is that hunters will have the option of getting their season limit of two birds in a single day.

On wildlife management areas, the daily bag limit on turkeys will remain at one bird.

The rule amendment will take effect in the fall with the start of the 2014-2015 hunting season.
