Top 10 hunting questions asked FWC

[@alexl652]

Thumbs up. Great way to inform hunters on regulations, issues, etc.

[@treylarsonproduction]

Fantastic video man!! Keep doing these!!! You’re solving a lot of problems for confused country boys!

[@vlogoftheyeard4194]

Florida makes its hunting rules and regulations extraordinarily difficult to under stand and looking up information on the fwc site is difficult. For people who were born and raised here Im sure it comes second nature but trying to figure things out when trying to do the right thing is frustrating. a simple list system of "what you need to hunt here" would be more comprehensive.

[@haroldestevez4803]

Exelent MR. Tony. I call a little while ago because I had a question. I got transferred over to you but you were not available, so I left a voicemail. You got back to me within 24 hours and explain in detail. thanks for thatm by the way the answer was similar to minute 14 in this video.

+HuntFlorida TV i am a FAN already I saw most of your videos today. As a new hunter I learn a lot from people like you so thanks for that. Also thank you for the job that you guys do at FWC and your efforts to increase population. So far I have not been able to hunt anything Down here in A1 is very hard to harvest deers or hogs. If you dont mind subscribing to my channel and every time I uploaded a video and you see it, you could coment and help me to improve my hunting skills. Thank you again Mr. Tony.

[@dumptodreamhome2630]

My question is "Why does everything have to be written out as if it was done by a lawyer?" Just to look up information on how and where to hunt you Literally have to click and read Multiple Links. Basically if your "In the Know"(a good ol'boy) you're good to go, but if not it will take you Years just to figure out the quota hunts, how to apply, when to apply and good luck finding the MWA's GPS will take you 10 miles out of your way to an empty side of highway, a citrus farm or to the South Entrance of a privatly owned Ranch Gate.

[@SimonRiley115]

It says hunters "shall" (meaning mostlikely to happen in the future) enter through designated areas, not "must" (meaning have to) so you should be able to walk in on foot to hunt hogs any time correct? Thanks

[@boshboshish]

I have three questions sir 1) what is the right caliber pistol or hand gun for hunting deers with ( certified deer handgun). 2) is it allowed to hunt with silencer or is it allowed to hunt with built in silencer rifles ? . 3)What or where can I hunt dows?

[@billyjohnson7661]

Hey Tony, I think it's awesome that you put out these videos for novice hunters or just hunters like me... just starting to hunt public land. I do have a question I can't seem to find the answer to...i noticed on some wma's that the quota count will say something like "200 no cost daily quota permits" . Does that mean 200 people per day can hunt that area or once the 200th person shows up, no more permits will be issued for that season? Its been on my mind but I can't seem to run into fwc when I want to an when y'all pull up on me I ask a million other questions instead of that one lol hope I see you out there buddy, could probably puck your brain for hours... until then, be safe my friend and thank you for your service.

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Sorry, I just now saw this. That means they will only let in up to 200 hunters that DAY.

[@SimonRiley115]

@HuntFlorida TV let in? How would they know if there isn't a gate? My friends just walk in from their backyard. Is there a number to call to let someone know before entering or how does that work? Thanks

[@William-nameNface]

What are the restrictions (if any) about hunting iguanas inside city limits besides I assume no firearms and follow up question is it the same for parks that lie in city limits or does it go place by place? I tried to look up the answers to these and other questions on the FWC website but I couldn’t find anything saying specifics

Planning to go out and hunt on some WMA's for the first time this season for small game. If small game season is open on a WMA, can I use a shotgun or rimfire regardless of any other season that is open? For example small game season might be Dec1-Mar30, but lets say muzzle loader season is dec 1 - dec 15. Can i still hunt small game with shotgun/rimfire Dec1-15 or do i need to wait until that season is over?

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Yes, you may use a shotgun or rimfire rifle during small game season to hunt small game and hogs.

[@woodsfl4567]

I know rabbit is open all year in Florida, any public land or WMA's that allow hunting rabbit during the summer?

In the state of Florida if I have a concealed carry permit (personally I also prior leo experience) do I still need a hunters safety course before hunting with a license.

[@ChickenTendies03]

I don’t know about Florida but you do need to pass the hunters safety course before you buy a hunting license and it’s 100 questions. you can do it online in person or in a virtual meeting I did it online and it took me 6-7 hours it’s same for the in person meeting and it was $28.95 I believe of a person was born before 1971/72 they don’t need one but you can always call your local game wardens office or email them your questions

SO hunting pigs on WMA. The new PCP air rifles are not considered firearms but a .45 pellet will drop a pig @ 3000 psi. If the WMA is open to recreation, hypothetically you could shoot pigs all year on some WMA's? No different than if you chased pigs with a knife or spear. Would this technically not fall under FWC's hunting? Beside any quota closed area's. I'm looking at Osceola as an example

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Only WMAs you can hunt hogs year round on is Kissimmee chain of lakes area and Rolling Meadows Unit. All the rest, hogs can only be hunted during seasons - archery, muzzleloader, small game, general gun.

[@speed0311]

I hunt three lakes wma and they don't list hogs during small game so it may depend on the wma for hogs unless I am incorrect.

[@HuntFloridaTV]

@@speed0311 Correct. You can only shoot whatever game is listed as legal to take under each season.

[@rjkrebel]

tony could you explain why you can only use muzzleloader during muzzleload season and archery equipment is prohibited ? i like hunting that season but i would rather take the deer with my bow.

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Yes, it has to do with quota permits and opportunity. Muzzleloader hunters aren't allowed to hunt the archery season and therefore can't apply for and take up archery quota hunts. The same goes for the muzzleloading gun season - Archery hunters aren't allowed to hunt during muzzleloader season on WMAs because muzzleloader hunters don't want archery hunters applying for and taking up "their" archery quotas.

[@chrisz.9974]

If I’m hunting hog, do I have to follow general gun season, or is it open year round?

[@HuntFloridaTV]

It is open year round on PRIVATE lands, where you can use any gun that is legal to possess. On WMAs, hogs can only be hunted during specific seasons using only bows during archery, muzzleloaders during muzzleloading gun season, etc.

[@briang6088]

Hi Tony. I am on my way to Georgia to a private land own by the people I am coming with. They said that every year the wild life officers get into their property to check their stuff, game and anything they want. I just got told that the officers said that they have the legal right to get in someones property while hunting season. Is it true or they need authorization from the owner or a judge's order. thank you. BTW, i onow it's Georgia what I am asking for but it should still work the same way. Thanks..

[@miketufaro5915]

I'm not very familiar with hunting or guns... but I am trying to get into it... I was curious if you shoot a hog on your property but it runs off your property. Is that a felony?

[@speed0311]

If you shot the hog on your property and it runs into the neighboring property it is not a felony. It is only a felony when your bullet or arrow crosses into another property with out permission. If the hog runs into your neighbors property you will need to get permission to retrieve it other wise you would be trespassing.

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Speed311 is 100% correct

[@pcfishingco.7111]

Do you have to have a hunting license if you are 16 and younger ?, because i know if you are 16 and under you can fish without a license. Do the same rules apply?

Update video Please

[@MrT13]

Pretty sure you can still use a bow in Corbett during muzzle

[@HuntFloridaTV]

No, you may only use muzzleloaders during muzzleloading gun season.

[@MrT13]

HuntFlorida TV yes and no. In the Bruce bowman area you can still bow hunt during all seasons. And yes you can use a centerfire shotgun during muzzleloader except in Bruce bowman area.

[@MrT13]

HuntFlorida TV ocean.floridamarine.org/HGMSearch/BrochureDetails.aspx?srctype=pfs&title=j.w.%20corbett

[@MrT13]

HuntFlorida TV so during muzzleloader, you can use a shotgun anywhere in Corbett. And during muzzleloader you can still hunt the bow only area East and south of stumpers grade road.

[@MrT13]

Regulations Unique to Muzzleloading Gun Season - 1. Hunting with dogs is prohibited. 2. Archery equipment may be used in the Bruce Bowman archery still hunt area, provided all regulations for the muzzleloading gun season shall apply, except that an archery permit is required instead of a muzzleloading gun permit. 3. Hunting with archery equipment or guns, other than muzzleloading guns, is prohibited, except that centerfire shotguns are allowed (except in the Bruce Bowman archery still hunt area) for hunting migratory birds. 4. During muzzleloading gun season, hunters may operate vehicles throughout the area beginning 8 a.m. 1 day before the season opens until 6 p.m. the day after the season closes.

Hi Tony I would like hunt for hogs on wmas, I'm 40 years old, what especially do I need. Thanks

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Look for a WMA close by that allows hogs to be taken during its small-game season. You only need a $26.50 management area permit to do that. No hunting license or quota permit is needed. But you can NOT use a centerfire rifle during that season. I suggest using a shotgun or a 22 magnum.

[@bpekroljr]

If the only legal "firearm" for taking gators is a bang stick, then why are their other videos depicting taking gators with rifles in Florida? Do the rules not apply on private land, if this is the case?

[@ks3521]

Do you need a quota for hogs ?

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Quotas are placed on "seasons" (archery, muzzleloader, general gun, etc.). During most WMA's hunting season (except spring turkey), wild hogs are legal to take. But you may need a quota to hunt (no matter what species) during a particular season. But 95% of WMAs do not require a quota to hunt their small-game seasons, where on most, you can take hogs with shotguns or rimfire (.22) rifles.
