Officials back higher hunting licenses for land purchase push
In Bradenton the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission won unanimous support at a public meeting for raised hunting license costs to fund more land acquisitions. A 12 month hunting license and a uniform freshwater license were approved, with emphasis on self funding and land security for future hunting. The commission discussed acquiring the 130000 acre Gulf Hammock area at 70 dollars an acre, aiming to a nine million dollar price, contingent on timber and mineral rights income.
