I think you should have to have had least 20 years of buying a license in the state before you get the over 65 exemption.  Too many snowbirds.

Like this idea or maybe if you have homestead status.

If you're not a resident you don't qualify for free hunting and fishing.  The 6 month one day rule applies plus a declaration of Florida primary domicile.  Just imo but a big % are tax cheats on this.  Could easily be caught by simply reviewing electric bills but few seem to care.

As a Floridian we desperately need a tag system.

I don't shoot jakes. All for a no Jake (with some exceptions) rule but is that six inches?

I'm a public land hunter.

Don't worry about it.  If it ever happens it is far down the road after tag and report and years of data collection.  It's not biologically sound anyway.  6" just an arbitrary figure.  One guy thought 7".  I'm for visible beard.  Curious how many actual Floridians voted in this.  Let's start one for some states I don't have a stake in also.  I'd be happy to impose my opinions on them.  Voting is fun.  Just ask a democrat.

I voted no and only get a good WMA hunt every 3-4 years here in FL.

A big part of the hunt is eating what I take; can't eat feathers, beards or spurs and have no issue with shooting a Jake.

I'd rather focus on not taking bearded hens that spit-balling how long a beard is!
