Ok Kidz, I'm a bit worried here....'cuz I haven't seen Florida mentioned yet. Which is where I wanna move to next year.
What gives?......
Low-down on FL?
1. Very gun friendly. Although they botched up the last attempt at full open carry legislation - maybe next time. CCW is no issue.
2. Fishing everywhere - salt and fresh waters.
3. Ranges/ public land for shooting - no public land left where you can just drive out into the middle of nowhere to go shoot - the snowbirds took care of that. Indoor and Outdoor ranges are available - some private, some public. Outdoor over 300 yds are few and far between.
4. Hunting? . . . . that is another story altogether. Only Ocala Forest as a National area (over-hunted) and a good number of state/county WMA's (Wildlife Managemernt Areas) - however, very short, limited hunting seasons, quota draws, etc. Plenty of wild hogs, if you can find a place/time to go hunt them. White tails in the WMA I am told are over hunted and extremely skittish and also quite a bit smaller than other white tail species. Mid state has fair number of canned hog and deer hunting opportunities if that floats your boat. You friggin need a WMA permit, a hunting license, a fresh water fishing license, a salt water fishing license, a quota permit, a duck permit, a turkey permit, a fart permit to compete with a bunch of other hunters on limited land for a limited period for a limited resource.
Forgot to add, you also need a bow hunting permit, a muzzle loading permit, a cross bow permit.
Bottom line - if you are an active outdoors person, wanting to enjoy a variety of outdoors fishing/hunting experiences in FL, they will bankcrupt you with permits, before you set your foot inside an area where there may or may not be anything to hunt.
