Summary
The proposed rule amendment would adjust season dates to conform to calendar year changes and revise specific area regulations on Wildlife and Environmental Areas (WEAs) as follows:
Northwest Region
L. Kirk Edwards WEA – in that portion of the area west of Chaires Cross Road, allow any dog for hunting gray squirrel and migratory birds during the small game season; and in that portion of the area east of Chaires Cross Road, allow any dog for hunting small game (quail, rabbit, squirrel and migratory birds) during the small game season.
South Region
John C. and Mariana Jones / Hungryland WEA – require a permit for camping (only allowed in designated campgrounds).
John G. and Susan H. Dupuis WEA – prohibit use of vessels powered by an internal combustion engine during quota hunts.
Southwest Region
Lake Wales Ridge WEA, Royce Unit – allow any dog for hunting small game (quail, rabbit, squirrel and migratory birds).
Additionally, the proposed rule amendment would provide non-substantive technical changes, such as grammatical corrections, language standardization, or clarification of an existing rule.
