Florida Quota Permits Don’t Require a Hunting License

Did you know? You do not need a hunting license to apply for a Florida quota permit—including a bear-hunt quota permit.

However, if you’re selected and plan to hunt, you must have the required hunting license before taking part in the hunt.

The application process is designed to remain consistent with Florida’s other quota-permit programs and give applicants a fair opportunity to enter the draw.
