Green Swamp West, Florida
 

I'm looking to start hunting the Green Swamp West in Florida. I have a hunting license, deer permit, and management area permit. Are there any other permits/license that I need to hunt. Also, does anyone know the deer hunting dates?

Thanks.

If you were lucky enough to get drawn for Green Swamp West and paid the $100-$125 for the special permit you should be good to go.

myfwc.com, under the huntin tab will tell u all the dates of every wma

recon,

Green Swamp West is a special draw permit. You have to pay for a special lottery draw. If you get selected, you will then pay either$100-$150 for the permit. At least that is what I remember. Have not applied for that permit for a few years.

The drawing takes place in May. The only way to hunt in there is if you have a permit. I applied for the drawing and got lucky. it was my first time, and from what I here feel lucky to get picked.

As everyone has said ya have to get a special opportunity permit to be able to hunt there, each application fee is $5, ya can put as many entries as ya like and if ya do get drawn ya have to pay $100 on top of however much ya spent on app. fees. I aint sure what FWC would do about someone in there tryin to hunt without a proper permit but Im sure it would not be purty.

Hey, I am the woods. Have u been out looking around latley in GSW ? I was out there back in July and seen a couple Doe,s and one big hog. There was some old Buck sign here and there just been so busy with work to make back to look around. I will be heading to Illinois in a couple of weeks and trying my luck up there on one of those bruiser's. I have the second Bow pick for GSW and that will only leave me a week when I get back from up north to get ready for that hunt there. Just thoat I would drop you to see whats up.

I am the woods. Check this bruiser out sent to me from a freind up there in Illinois.

Needed to correct myself. That is due to spending more time in the woods than school.

I have done a good amount of scoutin in there since July...I have seen a good number of bucks n some buck sign startin to show near the river...if i were bow huntin in there i would setup near the thick areas down by the river or thick oak hammocks...them bigger bucks like beddin/feedin those areas...I dont get to hunt in there til the last gun hunt in feb.
