Florida Fish and Wildlife has announced some major regulation changes effective in July of 2019. Ian Nance of the Lakeland Ledger Good Hunt column and Florida Hunting advocate Chuck Echenique discuss the reasoning and consequences of the changes, including a new season bag limit, deer harvest reporting, turkey hunting hours, hunting season dates, and more. Chuck also gives us an update on the future of bear hunting in Florida. While these changes are specific to hunting in Florida, the political process and biology behind them will resonate all across the South.
