Seasons & Licenses in Florida

Licensed shooting preserves in Florida generally operate on an extended season that runs well beyond the wild-bird season, which is part of what makes preserve hunting so flexible. Exact dates, bag limits, and licensing requirements change from year to year and can differ by preserve.

Before you book, confirm current rules with the official state agency, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and check directly with the preserve. Most preserves can sell or arrange any short-term license you need on site.
