2023 Florida Saddlehunter meet up…..

Thanks for comments. I'm not what you would call a social butterfly, but I'm going to try to talk myself into this and get out of my comfort zone. With that said, is the hunt archery only? I think I read somewhere that center fire isn't allowed.
I've been PMing with @Weldabeast as I am also confused by regs, planning to call Florida fish and game tomorrow since they're closed today and will report back with anything I find out
 
Most wma is rimfire or archery during small game season....our regulations are confusing

Normal bows,22s, shotguns are legal for sure but I'm not 100% certain on crossbows.

Certain wma allow center-fire but lake George isn't 1 of them
 
I don't know about everybody else but hog hunts for me are normally just nature walks looking and listening....as long as u can pick up ur feet and keep up somebody can tag along with me....just remember to sign that confidentiality contract before we leave.... hahahahahaha

I maybe have a 22 or shotgun I could loan out. Pm me about that

Don't forget the zero liability one as well.
 
Thanks for the heads up, perhaps the bow is a better way to go then. I'll make sure to research it all before. I make any decisions for sure. Heck maybe I'll just be an observer if I make it
You’ll wanna hunt these big ol hogs here lol
 
I propose everybody bring 5 dollars to throw in a pot. First coyote gets the pot....no dogs killed it can be be sealed and added 2 next year.... What do u guys think
I say save that $5 for the raffle… we have a lot of really good gear to get rid of
 
I just called and spoke with a Jessica from the Northeast regional office, asked about Lake George WMA, Jessica relayed that crossbows ARE legal to hunt hogs (and other small game) during this small game season. She ALSO said that the crossbow medical hoops to jump through is ONLY to use a crossbow during archery/crossbow season (deer hunting), but that we were all ok to come down and shoot hogs with crossbows as able bodied people.

I didn't get this in writing as it was over the phone but if anyone wants to fact check I called 352-732-1225.

Now for me to figure out if I can make it or not, but if I can it looks like the mini can come try to eat.

That was my understanding as well is that it was only medically necessary during archery. Thanks for clearing that up
