___________________ 

To show appreciation for our men and women in uniform, Florida offers a special weekend for veterans and active-duty service members to hunt waterfowl in Florida. This opportunity occurs Feb. 1-2, 2025, when waterfowl hunting is closed to the general public.

 

___________________ 

Regulations Information

Only veterans and members of the Armed Forces on active duty, including members of the National Guard and Reserves, may hunt ducks, geese, mergansers, coots and common gallinules (moorhens).

Veterans and active military may be accompanied by a person who is not a veteran or active-duty service member (i.e. hunting guide), however, the person accompanying the hunter may not harvest or attempt to harvest waterfowl. If non-veteran/non-active military guests plan to accompany hunt participants to assist with activities such as setting out decoys, calling, and retrieving harvested ducks, they must have a hunting license and required permits.

Bag and possession limits for each species are the same as the regular season. All shotguns must be plugged to a 3-shell capacity, and only nontoxic (steel, iron, bismuth-tin, tungsten-alloy) shot maybe be used or in your possession.

Hunters are required to have a hunting license, migratory bird permit, Florida Waterfowl permit and Federal Duck Stamp to participate during this special weekend.
