At the December 2009 FWCC Commission meeting, the Commission will consider a number of rule changes that, if adopted, will go into effect for the fall 2010 hunting season. One of these proposals pertains to deer dog training. The proposed changes only affect the dates during which the training may occur. The changes are necessary in order to line up with the new private land hunting season dates, which will also be considered. Again, the proposed changes only affect deer dog training on private lands. If you have questions, feel free to contact us.

Hunting with dogs in Florida dates back to the early 1800's. Early settlers
used dogs to help flush game from the dense thickets that made
up Florida's untamed landscape.

Today, thousands of families in Florida still enjoy this proud tradition. But with Florida's growing population and the desire of many of these new residents to live in rural settings, our hunting lands are being encroached upon.

But one organization is here to help protect this proud heritage,
the Florida Dog Hunters and Sportsman's Association.
