Overview

RULE:

68A-13.007

Hunting Regulations on Public Small-Game Hunting Areas

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to revise the regulation for Public Small-Game Hunting Areas (PSGHAs) which prohibits the possession of a firearm other than a shotgun and to require a management area permit for hunting. The effect of the proposed rule changes will allow the possession of any gun, but only allow the take of wildlife with shotguns, except that alligators may only be taken with bang sticks; and require hunters to obtain a management area permit prior to hunting on PSGHAs.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule would allow the possession of guns pursuant to Chapter 790, F.S., subject to state and federal law, provided the gun is securely encased in a vehicle, vessel, camper or tent during periods when the take of wildlife with the gun is prohibited; and require hunters to possess a management area permit when hunting on Public Small-Game Hunting Areas.
