FWC is currently considering a large number of rule changes, which would take effect July 1, 2008. This is to remind you that we encourage your comments and input on those changes. Commenting is very easy: You go to our home page (www.MyFWC.com), under the heading “Quick Clicks” click on “Proposed Rule Changes.” Click on “A summary of proposed rule changes is available here.” Then click on the green box with the rule number you're interested in. That will open up a form for your comments on that rule.
There are a few rule-change proposals that may be of particular interest to waterfowl hunters:
68A-11.003 Use of Motorboats on Certain Waters; Permits - The proposed rule would allow motors up to 10 hp on Lake Miccosukee, Lake Iamonia and Carr Lake during duck season, and allow motors of any size during the Youth Waterfowl Hunt.
68A-13.003 Hunting Regulations for Ducks, Geese and Coots - The proposed rule would expand the Canada goose season to statewide.
Rule changes for Specific WMA's and WEA's are listed by area under the following rules:
68A-15.061, 68A-15.062, 68A-15.063, 68A-15.064, and 68A-15.065 Specific Regulations for Wildlife Management Areas (by region).
