First post. Thank you for having me.

I've lived in Florida for many years but always hunt in New England.
I've been very reserved about hunting here because the requirements seem to be different in every district. Which is frankly confusing.

I plan to hunt the Green Swamp since it is closest to my home, in Tampa. I have the pamphlet for there but it's very wordy and not concise.

Do I need a hunting license to hunt boar?
What is required?
Any specific regulations I need to be aware of?
Is it likely I will be able to walk in and get a daily quota?
If I bring a none hunting partner, what is required for them?


Honestly hunting in Florida is very different from what I'm accustomed to up north. There, you buy your single hunting license and you walk into the woods. Here it's buy a hunting license, get a WMA permit, find the very specific regulations for that WMA. Go to a check station and get a daily quota. I fear I'm going to miss a step somewhere and get burned.

Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to hunt near home.
