The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established
Feb. 5-6 as Youth Waterfowl Hunting Days.
These select days are a great opportunity to get
young people outdoors and to introduce them to the excitement of
waterfowl hunting.
The statewide, two-day season allows children
younger than 16 years old - with adult supervision - to hunt
waterfowl, coots and common moorhens. Supervisors (18 years
or older) must be present and may assist young hunters, but state
regulations prohibit the supervisors from hunting. Hunters younger
than 16 years of age do not need licenses, permits or federal duck
stamps.
All regulations and bag limits for hunting
waterfowl apply to this two-day season. Hunting regulations are
available online at MyFWC.com/Hunting or in the FWC's waterfowl and
coot seasons brochure, available at county tax collectors'
offices.
