As a reminder, our rights to hunt, fish and trap are all protected from one state to another. In Florida the law“Harassment of hunters, trappers and fishers,” states: (1) A person may not intentionally, within a public or privately owned wildlife management or fish management area or on any state-owned water body:
(a) Interfere with or attempt to prevent the lawful taking of fish, game, or nongame animals by another.
(b) Attempt to disturb fish, game or nongame animals or attempt to affect their behavior with the intent to prevent their lawful taking by another.
(1) is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2) Any person who violates subsection
The latter two statutes set the penalty for a second degree misdemeanor as up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
