Dove Hunts Quality dove hunting opportunities are in high demand, but are often scarce, and the FWC is proud of its successful efforts to deliver great dove hunting opportunities at sites throughout the state. The friendly social atmosphere surrounding dove hunts is the perfect setting for friends and family, including youngsters, to hunt together. Special-opportunity dove hunt permits will be available two weeks before the opening day of the first phase of the dove season. When an adult hunter with a club permit is accompanied by a youth, they both can take a bag limit. Dove Club permits will go on sale beginning in early July, and end on September 7.
Permits are limited, so apply early.
Permits can be purchased at local vendors beginning 2 weeks before the opening day of dove season. These special-opportunity hunts are provided in cooperation with the Florida Division of Forestry, The South Florida Water Management District, South West Florida Water Management District, and the St. Johns River Water Management District. The FWC is very appreciative of their cooperation and support for these truly special hunts.
