FLORIDA – If you’ve been unable to find the perfect gift for your partner, friend, or co-worker who loves the outdoors, the Florida Fishing and Wildlife Conservation Commission may have saved you a trip to the store or time scrolling on Amazon.
On Wednesday, the FWC announced that it is offering a 50% discount on select hunting and fishing licenses through Jan. 3, 2025, including the annual and five-year Gold Sportsman licenses, along with the Youth Lifetime Sportsman licenses.

Also, the cost of the annual combined freshwater/saltwater fishing license is being decreased to $5.
According to the FWC, the discount was made possible by an executive order recently signed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
“This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for Florida families to spend quality time outdoors and to connect with our state’s remarkable wildlife and ecosystems,” said FWC Executive Director Roger Young. “We’re excited to open the door for more residents to explore hunting and fishing in Florida and hope that it inspires Floridians to support conservation efforts across the state.”
Residents can purchase the discounted license online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, at their local tax collector’s office, or on the Fish/Hunt FL App, which is available for Apple and Android devices.
Additionally, the discounted one-year and five-year Gold Sportsman licenses can be purchased at any participating license agent, which can be found by going to GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, selecting “Purchase Recreational Licenses & Permits” and clicking on “Locate an Agent.”
