Florida Hunting License

Florida hunting licenses are available through the FWC and are available through the county tax collector's offices as well as various other vendors across the state. License fees vary depending on the animal hunted and whether the purchaser is a resident of the state or not. Licenses can also be purchased online through the FWC website at myfwc.com.

Hunter Orange Requirement

When hunting deer or accompanying a person who is hunting deer on public land, each person is required to wear a minimum of 500 square inches of hunter orange as an outer garment, above the waistline and/or on the head. This rule is not applicable during the archery-only season.
