FWC Votes To Increase Private Land Turkey Bag Limit
February 13, 2014
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) at its meeting Wednesday in Tampa voted to increase the daily hunting bag limit of wild turkeys on private lands statewide.
The daily harvest limit per hunter will increase from one bearded turkey or gobbler per day to two on private lands. This is a statewide change and will affect both the fall and spring turkey hunting seasons. Only the daily bag limit will increase; the season limit for turkeys will remain at two birds.
That means hunters may still only take a total of two turkeys during the fall (all fall seasons combined) and another two during the spring season, but what changes is that hunters will have the option and flexibility of getting their season limit of two birds in a single day. However, on wildlife management areas, the daily bag limit on turkeys will remain at one bird.
Because of new rules modifying hunting zones in southern Florida, the new turkey daily bag limit on private lands will not go into effect until the 2014-2015 hunting season, which starts in early August. Because of that, the daily bag limit during the upcoming March-April 2014 spring turkey season will still be one turkey.
