Where are the duck hunters?
 
I'm looking to put the hurt on some FL birds this winter. Where are the duck hunters? I hear Lake Deaton, Okahumka and Minona can produce some birds.

I brought down the decoys and mud boat. Let's roll!

Per the google machine:

Can I duck hunt on any lake in Florida?

Can I duck hunt on any lake in Florida? According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, waterfowl hunting is permitted on private property with landowner permission and on any water body that has public access.Sep 5, 2023

Permit required, and in-season of course. This link may be helpful: Waterfowl Hunting | FWC

Why? Plenty of duck hunters in the area every Duck Season...

Oh no, I know I can shoot ducks on those lakes. I'm asking where my fellow meat eaters are.

Clearly you don’t live near any of the lakes in southern area of TV. From opening day to close, one can hear shotguns 7 days a week for hours.

Apparently new residents who moved to ST Johns and Denton area didn’t come from hunting areas. Some panicked calling LEOs that someone was shooting a gun. We are 3-4 miles away can hear the gunfire every morning

Hunted Lake Okahumka for years back in the day. Still good. Season starts around Thanksgiving, probably a mini season for teal in September. Let me know if you need a partner. Needs stamps in Fl. I live in The Villages.

We hear it from DeLuna too during the season. Very faint and can tell it’s far away, but we hear it.

I'm definitely interested. I used to duck hunt a lot in South Florida.
Send me a PM
