Five deer a year, of which no more than two may be antlerless — three of the five in DMU D2. The daily limit is two and the possession limit four. Deer taken under the Antlerless Deer Permit Program, the Private Lands Deer Management Permit Program or the Deer Depredation Permit Program, on a licensed game farm or hunting preserve, or any deer that tests positive for CWD, fall outside every one of those numbers. Digest, printed p. 18.

Nothing in your wallet yet
Tick what you hold and the calendar starts answering for you rather than for everybody. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission sells them at the link below.
Prices are what the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission printed for 2026-27, and are here to help you recognise a tag rather than to sell you one.
Florida deer seasons, 2026-27
Florida’s 2026-27 deer seasons run August 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
