For you guys using Google Earth out there to check out some WMAs I found a plug-in download for WMA boundaries. This is a great way to check the area you are scoping out vs. the boundaries of the WMA. Especially if you are on the edge of the WMA. Below is the link for the zipped download. Basically save it to your desktop then open it up after it completes. The boundaries are for 2007-2008, but are still a great tool. I'm trying to find the file for 2009-2010... I have been using it for a few months.

Description from the site on which I found it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This GIS data set represents the 2007-2008 Wildlife Management Areas administered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), and other associated public use areas. These data are intended as a general reference map only. More information on activities permitted in individual areas can be found from the links on FWC's Web site.
I dug a little deeper and found the hunting area plug in. The link is below:

I have an email out to FWC regarding updated maps...
THAT IS AWESOME! About two years ago i marked about 75% of them but thats wayy better. Nice job and thanks :toast
Its missing Hatchet Creek WMA in Gainesville. Also whats Little Gator Creek WMA? Its marked just south of Green Swamp West but its not on myfwc.com in the brochures? hummmm
Yeah, might be a little outdated with old and without new WMAs. I haven't heard back from the guy running the mapping applications at FWC yet. Use the hunting plug in.
