Fishing

With so many lakes and rivers, fishing is another popular activity in the state of Florida, and it is extremely easy to get started.

Florida fishing licenses are available at the local county tax collector's office, online, or at most bait and sporting goods stores. Fees vary. Visit the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission online for more information. (Freshwater Fisheries floridaconservation.org / fishing and sea fishing at marinefisheries.org.)

Note that because of the richness of marine life in the state, there are certain protected no-take zones where fishing is prohibited. Contact your local authorities or check postings at your destination to ensure that fishing is allowed on your site.

Hunting

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posts information on hunting regulations, maps, seasons and licenses on its website myfwc.com / hunting.

In Florida, annual hunting seasons including archery, crossbow, muzzle-loading, general gun antlerless deer, turkey (two seasons), quail, squirrel, bobcat and otter. Furthermore, wild hogs, rabbits, raccoons, opossums, skunks, nutria, beavers and coyotes may be taken year round.

With few exceptions, you are aged 16-34, if you are required to complete a state hunter safety course before you get your hunting license. Classes are offered throughout the state (and filling fast in hunting season), so do not wait until last minute to get certified. You can join a class at myfwc.com / hunter safety or contact your local Florida Wildlife Conservation Office.

Those under 16 are invited to take the class, but they are not obliged to, so long as they are hunting under the supervision of an adult. Similarly, people over 34 are invited to take the class, although not required because it gives so much useful information on safe hunting practices. It is also a good way to meet new people, if you are new to Florida.

If you are more interested in seeing wildlife than hunting it also Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website contains information on wildlife viewing stations throughout the state.
