Released Quail
Background Information
Northern bobwhite may be released and taken by shotgun only on the following areas, provided each individual or group possesses a daily released quail permit and proof (including the name and address of the vendor and date of purchase) that the birds were purchased within the past 90 days from a game farm licensed by the Commission or another state.
How do I get my permit?
Daily quail release permits are available free of charge at gooutdoorsflorida.com/. Once logged in, click on the "Purchase a License" link to find the permit under the "Hunting Permits" section. Please note that the permit will only show up if you already possess, or placed in your shopping cart, a hunting license.
