Florida's annual Spring Turkey Season began Saturday morning 30 minutes before daylight. The season offers hunters an opportunity to hit the woods in search of Jackson County's growing wild turkey population.
The day was active with hunters returning to the woods across the county. Popular areas for hunting including the Chipola River and the Apalachee Wildlife Management Area on Lake Seminole, as well as private hunting lands across the county.
The management areas are open this weekend for hunting from 30 minutes before daybreak until 1 p.m. Private lands can be hunted from 30 minutes before daybreak until sunset.
To hunt in the spring turkey season, you must have a valid Florida hunting license. They can be purchased at the Jackson County Tax Collector's Office and other retail outlets, or online at http://www.wildlifelicense.com/. The cost is $17 for residents plus $5 for the turkey stamp. Non-residents pay $46.50 for a ten day pass plus $100 for a non-resident turkey stamp. To hunt on Wildlife Management Areas you must also purchase a $26.50 management area permit.
The season runs until April 20th, but there are rules and regulations. For more information, please visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at http://www.myfwc.com/.
