Deadline nearing
to apply for special-opportunity fall hunts
May 30, 2007
Contact: Office of Licensing & Permitting (850) 488-3641
The deadline to apply for the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) special-opportunity
fall hunts is June 13.
Special-opportunity hunts offer hunters vast
areas, abundant game, low hunter quotas and excellent chances to
bag quality deer, hogs and released quail on some of the best
public hunting areas in the state.
Special-opportunity deer and wild hog hunts take
place on Fort Drum (Indian River County), Lake Panasoffkee
(Sumter County), Triple N Ranch (Osceola County) and Green Swamp
West Unit (Pasco County) wildlife management areas (WMAs).
Released-quail hunts take place on Blackwater WMA - Carr Unit in
Santa Rosa County.
Hunters may apply for these permits at any
license agent or tax collector’s office or submit an application
at
www.wildlifelicense.com. Application worksheets are
available at
MyFWC.com/hunting.
Demand for these hunts is typically greater than
the number of permits available, so a random drawing is
conducted to select applicants. Hunters can improve their
chances of being selected by submitting as many nonrefundable $5
applications as they want. If selected, the cost of the hunts
ranges from $50 to $175.

MyFWC.com/hunting for more information on how to apply for
special-opportunity hunt permits.
