Let me help you buddy. This is my 3rd year hunting in Florida. If it;s a drawling quota you need , that is a 'special quota'. They are only available from June 1st - June 10th at usually the place where you buy car tags. At here in Lakeland they are on a table at the county court house.. Take all you want ,but you can only mail in one fre.They must be mailed in by June10th,They are free... It's on hard paper. You can also request a doe permit as well on the same application. You will also need to make a copy of your hunting license and send it in with the application as well. You will choose 2 places to hunt. Most of the time you will get what you want unless it is a very limited area. I hope I was a help.

PS I'm going turkey hunting next week after Sunday. I do not have a special quota for the first 2 days. Like the other man told you, I'll pick up a regular quota at the front gate. It's a piece of orange paper so game wardens can keep a count of how many are out there. When you are done hunting you simply put the piece of paper in a box at the gate and drive on home. MAKE SURE YOU DON"T HAVE A LOADED GUN IN THE VEHICLE. YOU WILL BE BURNED.
