Hey Newbe, if I remember, we talked on this site last year before the hurricaines. Guessing that you never got out for any of the season based on your post.

Where are you looking at. You can hunt the following WMA'S: Turner River Unit, Bear Island, Three lakes, etc. etc.

As to your question about regular quota permits, all the places that I hunt have them at the gate weather they are "maned" or not. Depending on the size of the hunting area, this is how many permits are available.

If you're talking about special permits and special quota hunts you have to do that by Oct prior to the season.

My guess is that's not what you're talking about.

Leaving today to go hunt Green Swamp WMA on a special Quota. Won't be able to respond to you if you see this before sometime over the weekend. Maybe some else can help you.
