FWC Hunting Activity Calendar

Note: Hunting Season 2022-23 now available - updated 7-31-22

I have created an online calendar showing the hunting dates for many of the areas I have documented. Using the Google Calendar function and the FWC hunting brochures, I have facilitated a means for hikers to verify that the area they are considering to visit is free from hunting activity. Most all areas are open to all activities at the same time, but as a normal rule I elect to avoid areas during hunting activities. It is not a good feeling to disrupt a hunter who has been waiting for that special target all day. I have run across hunters a few times and in all case they were very nice people, they respected me and I feel the hiker should respect them. Always be aware of poachers, they concern me more than hunters. If you see any law violators or suspicious activities, contact your nearest Commission Regional Office or call 1-888-404-FWCC. You may qualify for a cash reward from the Wildlife Alert Reward Association.

These FWC areas are covered in the calendar (you can view my write-ups about some them using the “Website Directory” on the right or by returning to the home page)
