I had heard there was going to be a deer permit, but not a tag for every deer you harvest. Is this different? A deer permit is a once a year purchase if you plan on hunting deer. It's like a turkey tag.

kilroy, I like that deal better- hope it turns out that way! I am calling FWC tomorrow to ask them myself what is really happening.

A stamp would be a lot less of a deal than tags. I wouldn't mind a $5.00 stamp.

I paid the fwcover athousand dollars for my commercial licences this year, so we are taxed at a MUCH higher rate. And they tookour nets away a long time ago.

I love how any post on this forum can be turned into a reason to bash commercial fishermen. Yep, it's my fault they are adding a deer stamp.:doh

Please let us know what you find out. A tag per deer would put me in the poor house!

OK guys here is the link. Make sure you understand that these changes will not go into effect until July 2010 for the hunting changes. Make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I already purchased my hunting and fishing license for the next year on June 1st using the FWCC web site so I'm not sure what the lady at the tax collectors office istalking about.

Thank you, FLscout! I spoke with Tallahassee this morning and they confirmed exactly what the web site says.

I am glad it did not turn out to be what Wally World said! I have NO problem paying for a $5.00 deer PERMIT - I just don't care for the TAG system, but, we may be faced with it one day......

I can tell yall im very impressed that the FWC biologist right now they are taking does that actually are still pregnant and determining when they were conceived, becasue they are trying to change the season so hunters can actually hunt the rut(assuming to extend it). I am impressed because they are doing something strictly for helping us hunters, instead of restricting or cutting down something we enjoy doing. This is first hand knowledge also.

I agree that is a strong move on their part. Hopefully it will help them make some changes.The problem is that the doe population is so out of control that we don't have a defined rut in most of Northwest Florida. Unbred doe's continue to come into estrous month after month. I don't know how long the testosterone level remain's high enough in buck's to breed, but I do know that some doe's are already starting to drop fawn's, and I have seen spotted fawn's into early January. That is a pretty long breeding season.
