Hunting Guide

Southwest Florida Hunting Guide

The 2026-2027 season dates for Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties, pulled from FWC and laid out month by month.

What this covers

One zone, one chart

FWC publishes season dates as a statewide table split into four hunting zones. Lee and Collier counties fall in Zone A. Charlotte County is mostly Zone A as well, but the land west of Charlotte Harbor sits on the Zone C boundary, so check the FWC map for your parcel. The chart on the next page shows Zone A.

Season Dates

Deer, turkey, quail, dove, ducks, hogs and more for the 2026-2027 license year, as a July to June chart with the FWC sentence behind every date.
