- Want to get into hunting in Florida? In this video I cover the basics on how to apply for quotas, show you what areas are available to hunt, and much more!
This is the first video of many to promote having fun in the great outdoors! A video by a Rookie for everyone!
Holy shit their website is so damn convoluted. Im new at hunting, and IDK how in the actual hell people migrate the site and know what to get, the zones, the times for each zone etc. Hell Im amazed they dont tax you for what the phase of the moon is depending on what you want to hunt.
Thank you so much. Im just starting to get back into hunting and ive never been hunting in FL and this helped out a lot.
I’m glad it helped out bud! Hope your able to get some good hunts in!
This cleared up so much. Thank you!
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!
Thanks for the video you can tell a lot of effort was put into it 👍🏽
Thank you!!! Hope it helped!
Nice video, thanks it was helpfull
Glad it was helpful! Applications accepted til June 15th so make sure to put in for them!
Great video. I'm in Hernando and have had my license two years and never got out and hunted. This helps some information. I just want one deer tag to try and go hunt. Still unanswered questions but helpful
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

@@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
Really appreciate this video! Ever been to Babcock? I use to live that way and now I live in Tampa Bay area. Ive been wanting to hunt down there though.
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!
Hey I live in New Smyrna Beach and would like to hunt with you. But it will be a while had my left knee replacement surgery in July but getting ton better just can’t put run a hog yet or get to a distance tree but Blast him though. Good turkey and deer hunter and caller. Happy Thanksgivings.
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!
Thanks I was confused with what quota hunts were
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!
Nice video. How about a series on great places to fish in Oregon.
haha I was actually planning on doing a rainbow trout catch clean and cook video within the next couple weeks!
Aye I’m a rookie as far as hunting in FL . I’m looking for a good hunting club or even just a good group of people that are safe and chill . Can you steer me in right direction ?
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!)
What do you do with the hogs?
Me n my husband are trying to find out how to start hunting in public areas, how do I start we already did our hunter safety course etc
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 RUclips 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
I’m still trying to figure out what the quota hunt allows.... I was late to the party and could only get a pipeline permit. In reading through the regs I couldn’t find ANY mention of turkey anywhere, even though the seasons do fall in line. So can you or can you not hunt turkey in pipeline? I can tell the WMA system here is really good but my goodness it’s confusing. 😂
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
No quota Hunting link takes me to the quota hunting page on FWC. LOL. 20 years I try to go hunting legally without a paid guide yapping next to me half the day.
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!
It says hunters "shall" enter through designated areas not "must" so would I be ok to walk in and hog hunt anytime? Thanks
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
As a newbie I am still confused, I just want to rabbit or hog hunt....
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!
Whats the song at the end
Shoot I tried finding it and wasn’t able to! I remember I typed in royalty free country music or something into RUclips to find it lol maybe try Shazam?
Thx man u ever get that deer?
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.
@@coast2coast-Rookieoutdoors thats why u use a rifle she aint gonna duck a bullet.
How old you have be to get a hunting license
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.
Anybody ever just go hunting without a license ?
Oh nice, we get to pay to exercise our Constitutional rights.... This is fantastic....
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.
New subscriber here. Love your video. We have a similar RUclips channel if you want to check it out, "Hunt and Gather with the Chatters". Thanks for the info.
How do i hunt green swamp for hogs i dont understand it is it public land or only quta its so complitcated
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.
