I agree that hunting and fishing are fundamental human rights and nobody should take these away from us. Do you think the Native American tribes had seasons, licenses, permits, daily limits, quotas, daylight times, etc? No. Did they use up the wildlife and cause anything to go extinct? No. We have been brainwashed by our government to think that we are the servants and they are the master. We have to pay them to harvest and eat what God gave us for free. Pretty messed up. This whole totalitarian nightmare system is coming down sooner or later. Actually, they want to make a one world government and nobody will be allowed to eat meat (much less hunt or fish) and we will own nothing and allegedly love it. That is hogwash!

I believe it is a GOD given right to hunt and fish this land. These judicial laws are over and beyond reach of a humans right.

I have a license and still feel that way and will until I die. This is GODs world and animals were out here for us. Simply put and no one can stand in front of that. They will answer for it one day.

Florida has the most liberal game laws in the United States. Deer harvest begins in early July in zone A and ends in late February in zone D. There is no defence for illegal harvest. There are well over 7 times as many deer in Florida as there were when I first started hunting.
The saltwater fisheries have also rebounded. Sustainable harvest quotas and many other efforts have also increased viable populations in every species.
Hunting and fishing in florida has never been better.
Learn to be a responsible sportsman and enjoy the bounty.
I certainly have.

Compared to other crimes game violations are ridiculous. Don’t keep draining the swamps polluting the waterways and then complain about somebody having a 19-inch grouper

Fines are Rediculous compared to other crimes. Also the rules for fishing is silly! We can drain swamps,pollute the waterways,but heaven forbid you have a 19″ grouper!

Too many times I see small fines, and the person cannot get a fishing or hunting license for a period of time.
They are out there hunting or fishing illegally, and taking away their license is expected to stop them ?
Get real, with a real punishment that will make them think twice.

I agree fees & fines should be lifted for bank or bridge fishing right now. Many fish and crab for survival at this point . Groceries are too high. Putting fish and crab above Humans nutritional needs is a malicious act by Government. Americans are taxed, tagged, licenses, fined and jailed too much.

Night hunt…go to jail, take guns and vehicles, lifetime loss of hunting privilege and 30 days in jail. Deterrent is best medicine.

Yep I understand that common sense goes a long way on making fish and game laws, but when people can walk in a store take 999 bucks worth of stuff and not be bothered , by law enforcement, then fishing without a license seems like a non offense, but I really appreciate the the game wardens , and respect the jobs they do in Fla, Ala, and Ky, but not all is using common sense , they are bad apple out there, but all in all they have a job to do, and when I sign my license, I agree to let chips fall where they may, all stay safe,
