Anyone ever went to Florida and hunted public land without a guide? Thinking of taking the boat and doing some hunting down there without a guide.

Yup only been once we killed a 3 man limit out of a canoe by 8 a.m. Teal, ringnecks, bufflehead, ruddy ducks, and bluebills.. could have killed some other species if we had been more patient

LOTS of places require permits - do your research first.

There is a ton of opportunity in Florida, but you have to be committed to make it work. Lots of places, lots of rules, lots of competition. Look up FWC.com and go to waterfowl. You're on your own now !!!

Florida is nothing but ring necks unless you get a permit to hunt somewhere.

Look at the check station Data on MyFwc.com. from there you will see the ducks per hunter and species. The Sta,s
offer morning and afternoon hunts and that is probably your best bet if you get drawn.

Apply for some of the STA's. You can kill pintails, widgeon, ringers, B & GW teal, fulvous, black bellies, etc. When I went I had 6 different species in my bag.
