Lifetime Florida Sportsman’s Licenses On Sale

December 27, 2014

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is offering Lifetime Sportsman’s Licenses for Florida children and young adults at a greatly reduced cost for just a few more days. The license now costs up to $1,000 but through December 31, 2014, the price will be reduced to $500 for Florida residents who are 21-years-old and younger.

The lifetime license covers saltwater and freshwater recreational fishing, hunting and most associated permits.

“Our state’s natural treasures give families wonderful opportunities for both fishing and hunting from the Panhandle to the Keys. This Lifetime Sportsman’s License will provide Florida’s youth with the opportunity to spend time outdoors with their families. Fishing and hunting are time-honored traditions in our state, and I encourage all Floridians to spend some time enjoying the great outdoors,” Gov, Rick Scott said after signing the executive order that lowered the cost.

A Lifetime Sportsman’s License allows fishing and hunting in Florida for the rest of the license holder’s life, even if that person is no longer a resident of the state.

The license may be purchased at all Florida county tax collectors’ offices, online at License.MyFWC.com and by calling toll-free 888-FISH-FLORIDA (888-347-4356). Residency must be verified. For more information about a Lifetime Sportsman’s License and this limited time offer, visit http://myfwc.com/license/recreational/lifetime-licenses/.

In addition to all Escambia County Tax Collector Offices including Molino, licenses are also available at the Clerk of the Court office in the Billy G. Ward Courthouse in Century.

    The FWC could really capitolize on us Seniors if they offered a “lifetime” license
    to us folks over 50. We’re not going to pay $1000 for a license that we’ll only use a few years. Most States give people over 65 a free license for everything. (Dad
    has one)
    If they cut it back to say, $200.00, I’d buy it to keep from having to go get a hunting and fishing license every year.
