The possession of a hunting license
does not authorize a person to trespass onto private
land.
Obtain landowner’s permission before entering
private land. Trespassing while possessing firearms is a
felony punishable by imprisonment up to five years
and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
For more information, contact an FWC regional office.
The Florida Legislature created the Voluntary
Authorized Hunter Identification Program. Landowners
participating in this program notify the local sheriff’s
office and FWC to provide hunters with written
authorization to use their property. Anyone on
properties enrolled in the program without landowners’
written authorization can be charged with trespassing.
