Squirrel hunting on private lands starts early this year

If you consider yourself a squirrel hunter, then circle October 13th on your calendar.

That’s when the gray squirrel season opens throughout Florida on private lands.

The daily bag limit is 12 gray squirrels.

In previous years, the squirrel season always opened in early November.

Last spring, however, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission decided to provide squirrel hunters another month of hunting, similar to dates in other southeastern states.

The change means more opportunity for squirrel hunters but remember it only applies to private property. 

For hunting dates on public lands, go online for specific area dates at MyFWC.com/Hunting and select “WMA Brochures.”
