The FWC in its infinite wisdom has changed its rule regarding importation if deer into the state. The previous rule permitted deer from Alabama and Georgia to be brought in to the state of Florida with a permit and reporting with all other deer from all other states having to be deboned. The new rule now requires all deer to be deboned.
Im a Florida resident but I have as much Bama blood in me than any Bama native. I hunt Alabama only an hour from my home. Im not a young man anymore either and I hunt by myself a lot. My lease is in a remote area if I get a deer in the morning, ok I can bone it out but the last thing I want to do in the dark in the middle of the woods is debone a deer after a PM hunt. Also if the deer is one I want to mount I have to use an Alabama taxidermist unless I fully cape it out. So we shall see if I comply or not. The new rule is just over kill
