FWC makes a few changes to Florida hunting rules

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has made a few changes to hunting rules in Florida.

At their meeting last week the FWC agreed to allow the use of air guns to take rabbits and gray squirrels.

They also agreed to allow a quota permit holder the flexibility to take a different guest each day of a quota hunt.

The old rule allowed for only one person to make use of the guest permit for each quota hunt.

Another change to the quota system for next hunting season allows the reinstatement of hunters’ preference points only if they electronically return their unused quota permits 10 days or more prior to the first day of the quota hunt.

This change will allow returned permits to be reissued to other hunters on a weekly basis, instead of once a month, ensuring that more hunters are able to participate in the hunts.
