Southwest Florida Water Management District

Chapter:

DISTRICT LAND USE RULES

Overview

RULE:

40D-9.170

Hunting

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this amendment is to adopt minor revisions to the District’s land use rule regarding hunting on District lands. The amendments clarify the extent to which hunting is allowed on District lands that are not within a designated Type 1Wildlife Management Area and to allow the District to make hunting permits available on a first come/first serve basis in addition to its current process of issuing permits by lottery. The effect of the proposed amendments will be greater flexibility in the District’s issuance of hunting permits.

SUMMARY:

The proposed revisions clarify that the extent to which hunting is allowed on District lands that are not within a designated Type 1 Wildlife Management Area will be determined by the conservation management goals and objectives contained within the specific management plan for the property. The revisions will also provide greater flexibility in the issuance of hunting permits for authorized hunts on District lands not within a Type 1 Wildlife Management Area. Currently the rule only allows for issuance per a lottery system. The proposed language will broaden the District’s options to allow issuance via lottery or on a first come/first serve basis.
