Checked on the agency's site November 6, 2026. Permits, zones, bag limits and shooting hours differ: the regulations are what count, so read them before you go.

Legal shooting hours for big game in Florida, generally: 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. Spring turkey hours are often shorter (many states close at noon), so check the turkey rules.

Turkey hunting means walking in before first light to get set up near the roost, often where there's no signal. Download the maps for your spot ahead of time and Cartahaven shows your GPS position on them offline, so you can stay on public ground and find your way back to the truck.
