Governor Ron DeSantis has signed an executive order for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to offer significant discounts on certain resident hunting and fishing licenses until January 3, 2025. The initiative includes a 50% discount on annual and five-year Gold Sportsman licenses, as well as Youth Lifetime Sportsman licenses for individuals aged 0-17. Additionally, the annual freshwater/saltwater fishing combination license is available for $5.
"This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for Florida families to spend quality time outdoors and to connect with our state’s remarkable wildlife and ecosystems," said FWC Executive Director Roger Young. "We’re excited to open the door for more residents to explore hunting and fishing in Florida and hope that it inspires Floridians to support conservation efforts across the state."
Residents can purchase these discounted licenses online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, at local tax collector's offices, or through the Fish|Hunt FL App on Apple and Android devices. The one-year and five-year Gold Sportsman licenses are also available at participating license agents listed on GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.
