Dear STA Waterfowl Hunter,

Due to recent construction scheduling changes at Stormwater Treatment Area 1 West (STA-1W) and Stormwater Treatment Area 2 (STA 2), we are able to offer more waterfowl hunts than what we communicated in our Aug. 26 email to you. Please see the following additional hunt opportunities.

STA 1-W

We are now able to offer morning and afternoon Youth Waterfowl hunts on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020.

Hunters can apply for these morning and afternoon hunts, which have 40 available permits each, during the Phase IV reissue application period. This application period begins at noon Eastern time on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2020, and runs through noon Eastern time on Tuesday Oct. 13, 2020.

STA 2

Morning and afternoon waterfowl hunting opportunities are available on the following dates:

  • Youth Waterfowl Permits on Saturday, Nov. 14
  • Regular Season Period A Waterfowl Permits on Nov. 21, Nov. 28, and Dec 12
  • Regular Season Period B Waterfowl Permits on Dec. 19, Dec. 26 and Jan. 2
  • Due to construction, Regular Season Period C hunts will not be available.

There will be 10 permits available for each morning and afternoon hunt for all STA 2 dates listed above. Hunters can apply for Youth Waterfowl and Regular Season Period A waterfowl permits during the Phase IV reissue application period. This application period begins at noon Eastern time on Oct. 10, 2020, and runs through noon Eastern time on Tuesday Oct. 13, 2020. Regular Season Period B waterfowl permits will be available during the normal application schedule.

Hunters also can apply for Regular Season Period A and B waterfowl hunting standby opportunities, which are created by permit holders who don’t show up for morning STA hunts.

How to Apply 

Applications for STA waterfowl hunting quota hunt permits and standby opportunities can be submitted at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, retail license agent locations, and select tax collector locations. Find more information about Youth Waterfowl Permits, Regular Season Waterfowl Permits, Waterfowl Standby Opportunities, and information about waterfowl hunting on the STAs.
