My suggestion, if you are in FL go to the FWC website and begin looking over what is available. I was stationed in Pensacola for 4 years and I hunted several of the WMAs there. That is all public land. FL has a surprising amount of public land that you can hunt on.

You will need a hunter safety card, so if you haven't attended a class you need to. You need gear and you need to know about taking care of the animal after it is taken. You would be well advised to find someone to help you the first couple of times you go out.
