The following is from an email I received. "You can now access a query page to view reported harvests statewide for deer and turkey. The data is updated at least daily. The link is hunterstoolbox.gooutdoorsflorida.com/ and can be found on the gooutdoorsflorida.com website by clicking Hunter’s Toolbox." |

And to think FWC said they would never do this... goodbye to all the spots.

Not sure what the fear is regarding spots. There are no lat long locations that I can see. Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t believe so.
Glad they have finally made the info available.

You seem to mis understand the point in all of this. When the original group wanted demands met FWC went along with them to appease the Group, then yrs later things started to go in the direction they always wanted them to go in in the first place. Stakeholders didnt want harvest numbers published to further drive lease prices up, out of toen guests, etc... I could care less about spot burning, I'm a man of principle.

What does it matter if the FWC "Spot Burns", it's going to take few years to draw a permit anyhow. By the time you draw a permit the whole logistics of the place has changed more than likely.

It’s the same information you could get before.

Can’t say that I agree with your concern about it driving lease prices or about it demonstrating any lack of principle. I highly doubt landowners will use the information as a metric for pricing leases. Pretty sure lease prices will continue to be driven by the supply and demand for recreational land. If what you’re saying were really the case, SFL would be the lowest priced area of the state, due to the lower harvest rates. But, the opposite is true, because it has the lowest supply and the highest demand. |

Agree with walkerdog and especially tampaspicer... As I recall, the concern was more about posting specific locations of harvest, not necessarily at the broader county or WMA level. I don't think the harvest data itself is as useful as some believe. Without knowing the amount of hunting pressure, the harvest number by itself isn't as useful in determining harvest success.
Not sure where joekat has been but I suspect he would disagree with ogbohica as well given he was pushing hard to get the harvest data posted.

I total agree with you and have express them to FWC, not that it does any good. Don't forget these numbers are what's being reported and are way low. The best info is boots on the ground. |

Before the Go Outdoors site changed a few years ago you could do this, and then it went away when they revamped the site. I'm glad it's back.

I already see where some of the numbers do not match what was checked in at a certain WMA. There were 3 turkeys checked in from the youth hunt weekend and only one is showing in this app.
Also shows that one was checked in on Opening day and there was nothing checked out at the checked station. This WMA is manned and heavily regulated.
So it is already skewed data…🙄

These days, "DATA" is synonymous with uncertainty.

We registered one this morning and it appeared to have posted immediately.

The data is as accurate as the person reporting it. Some people are conscientious about that sort of thing and some aren’t. Regardless of how prone some people are to making mistakes, the info is still valuable in a number of ways.

dont think ive ever looked up harvest reports online, i do look at boards at the check station if there is one. if theres a new wma i wanna hunt i plan a day during small game most times and after that 1 day of hunting/scouting i know if its worth hunting / giving up points to hunt it. south of 60 theres maybe 4 wmas worth waiting 2 years to get a permit to hunt the rest suck anyway unless you get a re issue.
