Dove Club Permits Go on Sale July 1

Five special-opportunity dove fields will be open to the public this season through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s special-opportunity Dove Club Program.
Beginning 10 a.m. (EDT) July 1, sportsmen can purchase Dove Club permits by submitting a completed Special-Opportunity Dove Club Permit Worksheet to any county tax collector’s office or authorized license agent. Permits also are available online at www.wildlifelicense.com or by calling toll-free 1-888-HUNT-FLORIDA (486-8356). Worksheets are on the Web at MyFWC.com/hunting under "Limited Entry Hunts."
Dove Club permits will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and as long as they remain, the deadline to purchase them is 11:59 p.m. (EDT) Sept. 9. The permit allows one adult and one youth (under age 16) to participate in all scheduled hunts (up to eight days) for a designated dove field. These Saturday half-day hunts cost $150 and enable both the permit holder and youth to take daily bag limits of birds.
The five special-opportunity dove fields are: Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Martin County, Caravelle Ranch WMA (Putnam County), Combs Farm Public Small-Game Hunting Area (PSGHA) (Baker County), Hilochee WMA (Lake County) and North Newberry PSGHA (Alachua County)
