Florida Hunting Season / Mobility Impaired Hunts
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission offers seventeen hunts on seven wildlife management areas (WMA) to those hunters Certified Mobility-Impaired . These hunts are reserved exclusively for mobility-impaired hunters (hunters who can't walk, or can't walk without an assisting aid). Having a Disabled Persons Hunting and Fishing Certificate does not make you eligible for mobility-impaired hunts. A mobility-impaired is defined as:
(A) Paraplegic
(B) Hemiplegic
(C) Quadriplegic
(D) Permanently dependent upon a wheelchair for ambulation
(E) Permanently required to use assisting aids to walk
(F) Permanently required to use braces or prosthesis on both legs
(G) Complete single-leg amputation.

Phase I and II applications are accepted from June 19 to Aug 13 where one permit per person will be issued. Phase III permits will issued beginning 10:00 AM Aug. 14 until all are issued.

Apply on-line at www.wildlifelicense.com or any tax collector’s or agent’s office.
