i had heard Scott Berish says something about hearing comments until Oct. 12...hope it's not too late to comment.......that could be the worst thing for us hunters., at this this way , we can trade or beg for permits that we didnt get......hope they figure out something to make everyone happy......

Why does it matter if they are transferable or not? two people cant be in the woods on one quota permit anyway

Because I'd still like to be able to pass my quota permit on to someone else to use in the event I couldn't make it. I had it happen to me twice already. Once for a illness in the family and the second instance I was stuck on the couch with a bout of pneumonia. Both times I gave those quota hunts away and they were utilized and not wasted.

EXACTLY.......there's the quota for a reason and if someone is home sick or just can't hunt, then the management plan that they have for these critters cannot be achieved because if it goes nontransferable,no one would hunt......what good is that too the management plan ????? none....this way , we win and the critters are managed properly...

I'd like to see a week of doe season added.

yeah, that would be nice wouldn't it.....i'm a firm believer in taking does,mature does, the older the better........at toso. we do the 50/50 thing....for every buck taken , we'd like to see a doe taken as well, but that number is usually lower.....but it seems to be working...wish more wma's would try it......

Ohhh. are you saying that they are trying to make the quota permits non transferable? I think they shouldstay transferable. I agree on some doe days also. I didnt see anything but does at churchlake wma this bow season and my buddy said he had about 10 does around him at one time there also and no bucks.

I chimed in my nickel minus three pennies. Hopefully, it will stay the way that it is.

Huntnma,
They will be taking public comment thru Dec. 13th. They had the St. Augustine Public Workshop on the 29th, only 5 hunters showed up to voice their opinion. This is very sad!! If we don't speak up we will not be able to complain about what we get. I posted my comment on thew siteand plan to attended the Nov. 15th meeting in Orlando.
