If I'm over 21 is a FL drivers license all I would need to buy a shotgun or do I need to take some kind of safty course first legally, not your opinion please.

You need your ID. And you can buy long guns at 18. No safety course needed.

If it's the same as Alabama, just a driver's license is needed. Here they do a background check to check for felons and stuff of that nature while you fill out all the necessary paper work.

I want to start hog hunting on eglin, I see them everywhere when I'm riding down trails. I assume I just need the proper permit at the jackson guard and I'm set. Is there a season or any useful info ya'll could give me. We used to ride around and pick them off out of the back of trucks in high school, but am guessing that's not the way to go.

Couldn't answer about the regs in Florida, but on WMA's here in Alabama something else has to be in season to be able to take hogs. Most of the time you have to use the weapon that's suitable for that season, ex: Bow in bow season for deer, shotgun when teal season is open, stuff like that.

You would also need your Florida hunting license on Eglin or any WMA. You need a hunter safety course to get that. Maybe that's the safety course you were thinking off? And there are big season for Eglin. It's not like private land in Florida where you can hunt them year round.

I thought there was a hunting course I just didn't know if you had to take it after a certian age. Thanks for the info , trying to keep everything legal. Need something to do around here in the winter time.

 

[Trophy05]

I'm not sure of the exact year but it was if you were born after sometime in 1970's you need to take it.

 

[MrFish]

AL is 1977. And FL is after 1975. There are certain months for each, so if you're close you can google it.

yeah man you'll need your hunter safety course before you can get your state hunting license. i think the cut off is 1975. then you'll need your eglin hunting permit. then invite us over for some pork chops!
