Florida WMA's online information will give you all you are looking for:-

This is the nearest WMA to Pensacola.

Just keep in mind that if you do choose to hunt public land, be aware of WHERE you're hunting. Some areas are closed to dog hunting, some areas are still/stand only, and if you're hunting public land in Florida you MUST have a WMA permit in addition to your hunting license and any tags for critters you'd like to hunt (if that species needs a tag).

Check myfwc.com for more information.

Try http://www.thefiringline.com and do a search for hogdogs. He lives over east of Pensacola about 50 miles. He's a pretty serious hog hunter and really knows what he's doing. It's worth asking him for advice.

AL deer season just ended, lots FL hunters head west and north a short drive to hunt Corps of Engineers Land along the Tombigbee River, as it flows into Mobile Bay.

Try Blackwater River State Forest to the Northeast a short drive, the biggest state forest in FL. Federal land such as that surrounding the naval base sometimes offers some hunting opportunities if you can get access, and private land abounds. that's your best bet, pick up a lease on a private timber tract, more trophy potential.

try Craigs list for hunting clubs for lease in the area, and post something saying you are looking for land to hunt/ lease. follow all regulations. as already stated. dog hunting is not always smiled upon by still hunters, or adjacent property owners when the dog strays across a line.
