11 372.57 Licenses and permits; exemptions; fees.--No
12 person, except as provided herein, shall take game, freshwater
13 fish, or fur-bearing animals within this state without having
14 first obtained a license, permit, or authorization and paid
15 the fees hereinafter set forth, unless such license is issued
16 without fee as provided in s. 372.561. Such license, permit,
17 or authorization shall authorize the person to whom it is

20 permit, or authorization is not transferable. Each license or

23 the commission. Such license, permit, or authorization issued
24 by the commission or any agent must be in the personal
25 possession of the person to whom issued while taking game,
26 freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals. The failure of such
27 person to exhibit such license, permit, or authorization to
28 the commission or its wildlife officers, when such person is
29 found taking game, freshwater fish, or fur-bearing animals, is
30 a violation of law. A positive form of identification is

5 necessary by the commission. A certified copy of the
6 applicant's birth certificate shall accompany all applications
7 for a lifetime license for residents 12 years of age and
8 younger. Each applicant for a license, permit, or
9 authorization shall provide the applicant's social security
10 number on the application form. Disclosure of social security
11 numbers obtained through this requirement shall be limited to
12 the purpose of administration of the Title IV-D child support
13 enforcement program and use by the commission, and as
14 otherwise provided by law.
15 (4) In addition to any license required by this
16 chapter, the following permits and fees for certain hunting,
17 fishing, and recreational uses, and the activities authorized
18 thereby, are:
19 (b)1. Management area permits to hunt, fish, or
20 otherwise use for outdoor recreational purposes, land owned,
21 leased, or managed by the commission or the State of Florida
22 for the use and benefit of the commission, up to $25 annually.
23 Permits, and fees thereof, for short-term use of land which is
24 owned, leased, or managed by the commission may be established
25 by rule of the commission for any activity on such lands.
26 Such permits and fees may be in lieu of or in addition to the
27 annual management area permit. Other than for hunting or
28 fishing, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply on
29 any lands not owned by the commission, unless the commission
30 shall have obtained the written consent of the owner or
31 primary custodian of such lands.

9 game population levels, desired hunter density, and
10 administrative costs. The permit fee shall be set by
11 commission rule on a per-acre basis. On property currently in
12 the private landowner payment program, the prior year's
