The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has introduced new regulations for the 2025-26 hunting season, impacting trophy deer hunts in Florida. These changes aim to enhance hunting opportunities while ensuring sustainable wildlife management.
Increased Antlerless Deer Harvest Opportunities
Based on data and stakeholder input, the FWC has approved rule changes to increase antlerless deer harvest opportunities. These changes allow hunters in Zones B and C to harvest antlerless deer during the archery, crossbow, and muzzleloading gun seasons. Additionally, there’s a 9-day period during the general gun season in specific Deer Management Units (DMUs) and 30 days in DMU C5.
What Does This Mean for Hunters?
These adjustments provide more flexibility and opportunities for those planning Florida hunting trips. Whether you’re a resident or visiting, understanding these changes is crucial for a successful and compliant hunting experience. It’s essential to stay updated on specific DMU regulations and ensure all licensing and permits are in order before embarking on your hunt.
