Info for Dove Hunters

Unless exempt, all hunters, regardless of where they will be hunting dove, must possess a valid State of Florida Hunting License and a Florida Migratory Bird Permit. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requires the migratory bird permit for all persons hunting any type of migratory birds in Florida. This free permit can be obtained from any tax collector's office, licensed subagent, online, or by calling (toll free) 1-888-HUNT-FLORIDA (888) 486-8356.

To hunt one of the Special-Opportunity Dove Fields all hunters are required to either join the FWC Dove Club or obtain a Special-Opportunity Daily Dove Hunt Permit.

To hunt managed dove fields on Wildlife Management Areas, hunters must possess a valid hunting license, migratory bird permit, and wildlife management area permit, unless exempted from license requirements.

In some instances, a daily hunt permit, issued at the area check station, or a quota hunt permit may be required.  Quota hunt permits are required to hunt Dupuis, Babcock/Webb Punta Gorda Unit, Hilochee Osprey Unit, and Lake Wales Ridge Royce Unit.
