On the cover
Perry resident Sandy Hunter made a great, 140-yard free-
handed shot from a ladder stand with her .243-caliber rifle
to take this magnificent eight-point buck, which sported a
20-inch outside spread. The deer was one of three racked
bucks Sandy harvested last season from her and her
husbands private Taylor County hunting lease.

Dear Florida hunter:
I am happy to welcome you to
the 20092010 hunting season.
If you are anything like me, you
are already making plans to
hunt more often than you did last
year. Days spent in the woods orin the marsh are some of lifes
simplest enjoyments, despite
the tough economic times. The
memories made and bonds that
are strengthened with family
and friends are invaluable. So, I
hope you are able to hunt often
take a friendand have fun!
Being a hunter makes us proud. We are part of a unique group
that embraces the significant responsibility that comes with
the freedom to huntthe responsibility of conserving wildlife
populations and their habitats.
Through hunting license and permit sales and the excisetax generated from hunting equipment, hunters contribute
signif icantly to the cost of wildlife conservation and research,public land acquisitions, habitat protection, science-based fish
and wildlife management and law enforcement.
DIRECTORS MESSAGE
Led and supported by hunters, nonprofit wildlife conservation
organizations have been at the forefront of wildlife habitat
conservation on local, regional and national scales. As a resultof this financial support and volunteer efforts, entire ecosystems
have been conserved for the enjoyment of all our citizens.
About 45 percent of Floridas hunters hunt public land. Those
that do may experience the newly revised quota hunt system
this year. Other than a few exceptions, all quota permits for
hunting on wildlife management areas are now nontransferable,
and quota permit holders may take guests. This new system is
designed to benefit Florida hunters by making the distribution
of permits fairer, while keeping the flexibility to allow hunting
with friends and family. I am confident these changes are
improvements, which will help ensure the future of Floridas
hunting heritage. I hope you give the new system a chance.
My thanks to the hunters of Florida for all you do for wildlife
conservation and the future of hunting! Best wishes for a safeand enjoyable hunting season.
Happy hunting,
Diane Roth Eggeman, Director
Division of Hunting and Game Management

Wildlife Alert Reward ProgramThe residents of Florida have an opportunity to help protect our states fish and wildlifefrom poaching and wildlife violations and to help protect each other from boaters whoare operating boats under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Its called Wildlife Alert,and everyone who has access to a telephone or the Internet can participate in thisimportant effort.
Wildlife Alert is a reward-based program created in 1979 to increase resident participa-tion in apprehending those who violate F loridas fish and wildlife laws. The program isadministered by a 13-member committee appointed by the Florida Fish and WildlifeConservation Commissions executive director. This committee oversees direction ofthe program and directs the reward payment schedule.
Through the program, alert residents become the eyes and ears of fish and wildlife lawenforcement officers and are rewarded for their efforts. Many times residents calls arethe only way law enforcement officers find out about some violations.
Callers can report any suspicious activity, supplying information such as the physicaldescriptions of violators, vehicles, license tag numbers, locations, etc. They shouldreport it as soon as possible, but they should not put themselves in any dangeroussituation. Callers reporting potential violators do not have to give their names or e-mailaddresses. They remain anonymous and will not be required to testify in court.
To make an anonymous phone call to report fish and wildlife violations, call1-888-404-3922 or visit MyFWC.com/law/alert/.

Hunter safety requirementAnyone born on or after June 1, 1975 can-
not purchase a hunting license without firstsuccessfully completing a hunter safety
course. Proof of satisfactory completion of
Floridas Hunter Safety Course or an ap-
proved course provided by another state
or province is required when purchasing
a hunting license without using the men-
toring exemption option (see Hunter SafetyDeferral Mentoring Exemption section be-
low). Children under age 16 may hunt with
adult supervision without having to take a
hunter safety course. Persons needing proof
they have passed FWCs Hunter Safety
Course can print out duplicate certificates
at MyFWC.com/huntersafety.
Hunter safety courseEveryone born on or after June 1, 1975 must
pass an approved hunter safety course before
they can purchase a Florida hunting license.
Successful completion of the FWC course is
accepted in all states where hunter safety is
a requirement to hunt. Floridas hunter safe-
ty course is accepted by all states requiring
hunter certification. The FWC offers a Bow-
hunter Safety Course for residents desiring
to hunt in a state that requires bowhunter
education certification.
Whether you have been hunting all your
life or are a newcomer to the sport, the FWCHunter Safety Course has something for you.
The free, 16-hour course does more than just
teach you how to handle firearms. Topics in-
clude outdoor ethics, wildlife identification and
management, survival, field first aid, f irearm
laws and the Florida Wildlife Code. The basics
of archery and black powder (muzzleloader)
hunting also are taught in the course.
To find out more about these courses, con-tact the hunter safety administrator at an
FWC regional office (see page 2) or register
for a class at MyFWC.com/huntersafety. Get-
ting into fall classes can be difficult, as there
is more demand and class sizes are limited.
You can avoid the rush, however, by takingthe course in the spring or summer.
Hunter Safety DeferralMentoring Exemption
Anyone 16 years or older and born on or
after June 1, 1975 can hunt for one season
under the supervision of a licensed hunter,
21 or older, without having to complete the
states hunter safety certification.
The Hunter Safety Deferral enables
those persons to purchase a Florida hunting
license and hunt while that license is valid.
Individuals taking advantage of this try-
before-you-buy approach would have to take
and pass a hunter safety class to be eligibleto purchase their next hunting license.Hunters with a deferral who pass the
hunter safety training class may hunt with-
out a supervisor provided they have a copy
of their hunter safety card with them.
The 2006 Florida Legislature passed the
law to give more people the opportunity to ex-perience hunting. It is designed to encourageexperienced hunters to teach novice hunters
about safety, ethics, wildlife, hunting skills
and respect for Floridas outdoors.
Children and firearmsFlorida lawSection 790.22 states as follows:
(3) A minor under 18 years of age cannot
possess a firearm, other than an unloaded
firearm at his or her home, unless:
(a) The minor is engaged in a lawful hunt-
ing activity and is at least 16 years of age;
or under 16 years of age and supervised by
an adult.
(b) The minor is engaged in a lawful
marksmanship competition or practice or
other lawful recreational shooting activity
and is at least 16 years of age; or under 16

an adult who is acting with consent of mi-
nors parent or guardian.
(c) The firearm is unloaded and is be-
ing transported by the minor directly to or
from an event authorized in paragraph (a)
or paragraph (b).
(4)(a) Parents or guardians of a minor

the minor to possess a firearm in violation
of subsection (1) commit a felony of the
third degree, punishable as provided in s.775.082, s. 775.083 or s. 775.084.
Section 790.174 states in part as follows:
(1) Requires that firearms be locked and/
or stored in a secure manner to prevent mi-
nors from gaining access to them without
parental permission and adult supervision.
(3) As used in this act, the term minor
means persons under age 16.
Youth Hunting ProgramThe FWC is seeking landowners, hunting
clubs, volunteers and organizations to help
grow its recently established Youth Hunting
Program. The program aims to provide qual-ity hunting experiences for 12- to 17-year-
olds to increase the number of youths in-
volved in safe and responsible hunting.
Landowners and hunting clubs are
needed to help host weekend youth hunts,
while volunteers are needed to be trained
as huntmasters, hunter safety instructors,
cooks or guides. Organizations also are be-ing solicited to help sponsor this innovative
program.
While introducing Floridas youth to the
hunting tradition, the Youth Hunting Pro-
gram also can benefit landowners by assist-
ing them with their management of deer,
hogs and other game species they want tocontrol on their property. All the landown-
ers or hunting clubs need to do is provide
access to their land and the volunteers will
do the rest.
If you are a landowner or hunting club
wishing to donate a weekend youth hunt
on your property, an individual who can
volunteer time and expertise in planningand leading youth hunts or an organization
that can help sponsor this unique program,
contact Kenny Barker at (850) 413-0084 or
by email at [email protected]. For
more information on how to get involved
in Floridas Youth Hunting Program, visit

PUBLIC HUNTING
General information
Deer, elk and moose carcasstransportation regulationsIt is illegal for persons to bring into the
state carcasses of any species of the fam-
ily Cervidae (deer, elk and moose) from 14
states and two Canadian provinces where
CWD has been detected. These areas are:
Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Ne-braska, New York, Wisconsin, West Vir-
ginia, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Montana,
New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and Saskatch-ewan and Alberta, Canada. For state-to-
state CWD reports, visit www.cwd-info.org
for the U.S. Department of Agricultures
Web site. Hunters still can bring back de-boned meat from any CWD-affected region,
as well as finished taxidermy mounts, hides,
skulls, antlers and teeth as long as all soft
tissue has been removed. Whole, bone-in
carcasses and parts are permitted to be
brought back into Florida if they were har-
vested from non-affected CWD states.
Wild hogsWith landowners permission, wild hogs
may be taken year-round with no bag limits,
size limits or licenses required. Wild hogs
can be taken on WMAs only during speci-
fied seasons, where bag and size limits may
apply. For more information on hunting wild
hogs on WMAs, consult the specific WMA
brochure for the area you want to hunt.
GENERAL INFORMATION
TrespassingThe possession of a hunting license does not
authorize a person to trespass onto privateland. Obtain landowners permission before
entering private land. Trespassing while
possessing firearms is a felony punishable
by imprisonment up to five years and/or a
fine of up to $5,000. For more information,
contact an FWC regional office (see page 2).
The Florida Legislature created the Vol-untary Authorized Hunter Identification
Program. Landowners participating in this
program notify the local sheriff s office and
FWC to provide hunters with written au-
thorization to use their property. Anyone
found on properties enrolled in the program
without landowners written authorization
can be charged with trespassing.
Use of firearms by felonsIt is illegal in Florida for convicted felons topossess firearms, including muzzleloading
guns, unless the convicted felon has had
his/her civil rights restored by the states
Clemency Board or the firearm qualifiesas an antique firearm under Florida stat-
ute 790.001(1). Properly licensed convicted
felons may hunt with bows, crossbows or
antique firearms per Florida statute 790during hunting seasons when such devices
are legal for taking game.
The 2005 Florida Statutes Title XLVI,
Section 790.001(1) states Antique fire-
arm means any firearm manufactured inor before 1918 (including any matchlock,
flintlock, percussion cap or similar early
type of ignition system) or replica thereof,
whether actually manufactured before or
after the year 1918, and also any firearm
using fixed ammunition manufactured inor before 1918, for which ammunition is no
longer manufactured in the United States
and is not readily available in the ordinary
channels of commercial trade. The fact that
the firearm is an antique firearm is an af-
firmative defense that the defendant has theburden of alleging and proving [Williams v.
State 482 So.2d 1051 (Fla 1986)]. Convicted
felons should be cautious about being in a
location where a firearm is present as they
may be in constructive possession of that
firearm. Constructive possession occurs
when the person knows about the firearm
and is in a position to exert dominion and
control over that firearm. A felon who is rid-ing in a truck with other hunters who have
firearms with them may be in constructive
possession of those firearms, depending on
the circumstances.
Shooting hours for residentgame birds and game mammalsOne-half hour before sunrise to one-half
hour after sunset except when hunting tur-
keys during spring turkey season. Shootinghours during spring turkey season are one-
half hour before sunrise to sunset and on
