Specific Regulations for Wildlife Management Areas - South Region

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to revise specific area regulations on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the South Region and conform to calendar year date changes. The effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to enable the agency to better manage fish and wildlife resources and public use on WMAs.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendment would adjust season dates to conform to calendar year changes and revise specific area regulations on Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the South Region as follows:
Dinner Island Ranch – establish a 2-day youth turkey hunt (quota of 10, no exemptions) with a bag limit of one turkey per quota permit.
Fisheating Creek – establish a 2-day youth turkey hunt west of US 27 only(quota of 10, no exemptions) with a bag limit of one turkey per quota permit.
J.W. Corbett – establish a 2-day youth turkey hunt (no quota permit required), allow vehicle access for hunters to continue until 6 p.m. the day after the close of archery, muzzleloading, general gun and spring turkey seasons.
Spirit-of-the-Wild – establish a 2-day youth turkey hunt (quota of 10, no exemptions) with a bag limit of one turkey per quota permit.
Additionally the proposed rule amendment would provide non-substantive technical changes, such as grammatical corrections and language standardization. There are also proposed changes to some hunting seasons on FWC-managed areas in an effort to better align season dates with times of peak deer activity associated with the breeding season and other hunter preferences.
