Well lets start off finding out what you/your dad already have. Do you and your father have a hunter safety course? Well let's assume you don't go to this sight.

Next, once you have the hunter safety course out of the way, do you have guns/bows to hunt with? Well, this is the section where personal preference really comes into play. Check to see what your state regulations are as far as caliber restrictions.





Alright, you don't know about state lands, but if you go to your state's game and fish conservation website, you will find a lot of areas for you to hunt.





Just to get you started, and I welcome you and your dad to the world of hunting.What where how , hunting in florida?
Unknown Truth speaks the truth. First you need to take the Hunter Safety Course; you can't get a license without it. But, you don't need a license until you turn 16 years old. Around Miami there are only a few state-owned areas to hunt. Here is a map that shows their locations:

Here are the individual brochures for the different areas:

Each one has the regulations for it, as well as a map of that particular area. Some of the Wildlife Management Areas require a Quota Hunt permit if you hunt during certain times, usually during the first and last week. This permit is free for most areas, but they go quickly once the issuing period begins.





I also welcome you and your father to the world of hunting. May you both find it to be an enjoyable experience. Just remember; The hunting is always good. Sometimes the finding is poor, though.





Shoot straight and stay safe.
