Track Vehicle

Important Update

Based on aerial survey results for deer, we will not be issuing track vehicle quota permits for Rotenberger WMA.

While the FWC will not issue track vehicle quota permits for the general gun-vehicle season, normal access to this area will be allowed per area specific regulations for Rotenberger WMA

We appreciate your continued support of conservation and the future of hunting in Florida.

A Track Vehicle Quota Permit is a type of limited entry permit that is required in order to participate in the General Gun Vehicle Season on certain Wildlife Management Areas. The following information provides further details on specific information regarding these permits.
