I’m glad it helped out bud! Hope your able to get some good hunts in!

Colton Mullins glad I could help! Perfect time to start scouting different WMA’s and see wild life and get some exercise and fresh air!

Thank you!!! Hope it helped!

Glad it was helpful! Applications accepted til June 15th so make sure to put in for them!

Jordan I’ve drove past it a few times, but never hunted it. You should go hike it one day and see what sign and wildlife you can see and get a lay of the land! Just be mindful of other hunters if the season is in session.

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors I'm going down there Saturday, thanks!

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors I'm going down there Saturday, thanks!

@@Jordan-hw9yt best of luck bud!

Trails To Tracks if you want to post your questions I’ll be happy to answer them!

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors I figured out when you get a quota permit you can hunt in that area but do you have to apply for deer tags too? Any idea how to get deer tags for private property too

Trails To Tracks if your on private land, there is a map of the open seasons for each zone. Which ever zone you are in you follow that schedule. You need your hunting license. Being from Oregon, I’m use to saying deer tags so sorry if I tripped ya up! Haha

Trails To Tracks Link below: myfwc.com/hunting/season-dates/

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors see that's where I'm confused. Florida doesn't need a tag to take a deer if under all other guidelines? So you can take as many as you want? They don't make this easy. Thank you for helping. I'm gonna visit a wma and talk to them haha

Scott Donathan they’re confusing to learn about and understand but once you learn about one really well and hunt it, they start to make more since! Most WMA’s have FWC stations too that you can go to and learn more about. If you have any specific questions lmk!

Hey Eddie, unfortunately I’m serving on a deployment and won’t be home in time for hunting season this year, but I’d be glad to make plans with you for next season. Send me an email to landstrom555@gmail.com and we’ll work it out there!

haha I was actually planning on doing a rainbow trout catch clean and cook video within the next couple weeks!

If you have Facebook there’s a lot of great hunting pages like Florida hunters network, another one I personally love is cast and blast Florida - the group (they have a great podcast on Spotify you can follow and the community is very fun and helpful!)

MrCraigDNelson first things first go to the brochure on the website and locate the nearest WMA to you. From there see what they have to offer and the dates they take place. Most WMA’s have a ODFW office or ranger office that you can go on a day to hike explore and then talk with them or the locals. It’s pretty complex but once you do it once you’ll get it and be hooked!

No. on public land / WMA’s you can only hunt during designated seasons and have to usually enter by check in stations. I have known people that have received fines for trying to enter a WMA at a nonauthorized entrance so I wouldn’t risk it.

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors oh ok, they don't have a check in station or gate at this one

Matthew Stevens the turkey wma permits will be issued towards late winter. Right now there’s some reissues of general gun, archery, and muzzle loader for deer and hog primarily that let you go to specific WMA’s during specific times. Some WMA’s you can go without a permit which are the non quotas, or after the quota period it opens up to everyone. Does that help a bit?

Matthew Stevens what might make things easier is pin point the lands you want to hunt, look up their brochures, then come the permit releases on go outdoors Florida and apply for them.

Rookie Outdoors if the brochures said when you could hunt turkey then yeah that would make sense I’m pretty much stuck with pipeline for the year unless I can find a reissue, but like I can’t even figure out whether or not I can get a turkey at all there.

Turkey season in zone C is 11/7-1/3 and the quota dates are 11/14-1-10. So there’s that one week before the quota time where there’s turkey season and no quota time. I do have the permit but since the brochure doesn’t say turkeys are legal to hunt would that mean that the quota doesn’t apply to turkeys and you can do what you want there or would it be that you just simply can’t hunt turkeys there at all except for the one week window before the quota starts? I’m just trying to understand the way Florida works because even in the hunter safety class there’s like no info on any of it.

How do u find some non quota hunts cuz some are available thru the water management districts but regulated of course by fwc just curious take Kissimmee river public use area for example

Shoot I tried finding it and wasn’t able to! I remember I typed in royalty free country music or something into KZfaq to find it lol maybe try Shazam?

Jarek Maras my bad, I’ll see if I can give ya the right link here in a second! A lot of the quota hunts also have non quota hunt periods so if there’s a certain WMA you really like, you can see if they have a non quota period open to the public!

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors No, no, not your fault, it is how the FWC page is set up. I finely got the system figured enough where I can start scouting my local management area. Thank you very much, I truly couldn't do it without your video.

Jarek Maras glad to hear it bud! Lmk if you need help with finding anything else!

Mel Rodrigues you can be any age to get a hunting license, however to purchase a hunting license I believe you need to have taken a hunters safety course in the USA. For more on licenses go here: myfwc.com/hunting/regulations/recreational-license/ You can hunt without a hunters safety card if your accompanied with an adult at age 16 or younger. More info about that on this link: www.huntercourse.com/usa/florida/regulations.aspx Now if your trying to hunt by yourself it gets tricky because the legal age to purchase fire arms in Florida is now 21. If you plan on going out hunting and your between 16-20 I’d recommend going with an adult or friend that is 21, but I’m not 100% sure what the laws state for that, you can call FWC for more information I’m sure.

What type of help are you looking for like where you can hunt or how to hunt Public land ? I'm in northwest fla and I'm self taught with the help of Google and KZfaq so I know the struggles of a beginner

@@mrmike1700 yes, do i need quota where can i hunt where in north east i believe we went and scouted out tosohatchee trail with our truck but where just not sure how everything starts. Like when and or where we can hunt? What we need in like permits type of things. I already sent the application for the hunting license and did our safety course now it like actually know when, where, and how lol and all the permits and stuff we might need.

@@mrmike1700 we also really want to do grey squirrel hunting and deer and hog.

I could be wrong but I think toso is qouta permit only but I would say call fwc to find out for sure. I checked toso qouta permit availability and there all sold out as of now. Qouta permit application dates start in May. So unfortunately what I found is the same thing I've learned over the last few years and that is that without help in advance your first year will not be the best it's a learning curve but please don't let it discourage you keep at it. In 4 years I've only shot 3 does and 3 hogs I haven't shot a deer in 2 years because I'm still learning where to find bucks in my area, I had a heart attack 2 years ago and it took me a while to get over it and I spend a lot of the seasons scouting and learning new areas .its not easy but keep at it and good luck

@@mrmike1700 ok thank you

That year I shot one, she ducked from the sound of my bow strings causing the placement high. We tried tracking it all day but was never recovered unfortunately.

Tyler Small the money that you spend on hunting licenses and quotes goes right back into conservation, while it may not be fun to buy licenses, tags, pay fees, etc. it is necessary in order to preserve our wildlife, our forests, and continue to be able to have public lands available. If it weren’t for our people buying licenses, there would Essentially be no money left for conservation. Florida is very cool too because there is so much public land available compared to somewhere like Texas where it’s mainly private land in which not everyone is able to hunt because they don’t have access to land.

@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors I agree to a point: With our United States constitution being violated on a daily basis, it's imperative for all citizens to understand history; not only here in the United States but also around the world. The United States is having the life (freedom) squeezed from her while simpletons simply take it in stride because it's being done at a quasi-acceptable rate. Not to mention, hunting safety classes give a healthy dose of brainwashing while teaching some good (high-level deception). This gets a person in an agreeable state of mind, then bam, indoctrination begins with falsehoods, bogus statistics, and more nonsense. Take a look at how Hitler, Stalin, Chavez, and many other tyrants destroyed nations with dictatorship; it starts at EVERY level. Wildlife should and needs to be managed properly, ALTHOUGH, it's apparent that the FWC bureaucracy has went too far with many of the hunting restrictions on both federalized land and private land alike. If you're a free-thinker (someone who doesn't blindly trust the government in this instance), you'll do your research and conclude that Americans' hunting rights have been violated with tyrannical hunting restrictions. At the rate we're going, well be fortunate to even be able to own a firearm to hunt with in the near future.

​@tylersmall9658 born and raised in Florida. Tried to hog hunt while here for Thanksgiving. Can't do it. Cause I have to take an safety education course. And can't do that in time before I leave. Bull shit. Free my ass. Not allowed to hunt at night, not even allowed on the land past dark! Now how the fuxk is that American freedom? Only two areas allow for hog hunting on the day I can go. And then I gotta pay the government again for day pass to go hunt? And I have to leave before 6? Pack sand I say. Let me hunt.

Sorry for the late response, so Green swamp I believe (don’t quote me on this) has a quota period where if you draw it you hunt a week of it before it opens up to the public. A lot of WMA’s operate this way.
