In the WMA brochures, it lists the number of each type of quota permit given out. For example it would say, archery -50 no cost quota permits for EACH of 4 hunts. Does this mean there are 50 permits given out for each hunt, or 50 permits spread out over the handful of hunt dates they offer?

My understanding is your first scenario is correct: 50 permits for each set of dates- just like it says.

The first scenario is correct. 50 permits issued per hunt, with 4 hunts, for a total of 200 permits for that season. However, there could be as many as 400 possible individual hunters though if each brought a guest.

Definitely a lot of rich dorks, homos, and other undesirables from other states out there trying to get a Osceola these days.
I was just notified for the umpteenth time this season that my efforts to secure a turkey permit were UNSUCCESSFUL. Looking like I may have to pull one off the river or out of good ol' Corbett this year. Either that or I'm going to get back into something a true free man can still enjoy; frog gigging.

If you are over 65 you do not need a hunting license or management area stamp to apply for quota permits. I'm hunting the first 2 days of spring turkey on an exempt hunt.

I hunt as often as I can and as long as my mind and stamina can take it. Wife is starting to be concerned about my solo adventures and may put a tracking collar with control features on me to locate and make me stop. I do exempt and apply for non-exempt returns.

you have better odds getting picked in the regular drawing with a hunting license vs entering the drawing as exempt. let me explain it to some of you old coots, outa lets say 45 permits how many are set a side for exempts who knows 3 maybe . i know over 65 no license needed but also know 3 guys in there 70s who told me much better chance entering as a licensed hunter vs exempt. talking quotas not first nine day stuff. as i said i have never met a dinosaur who got a exempt turkey quota.

is that confirmed by fwc that the system is required to issue less quota permits to resident exempt hunters ? ------the system should be changed to allow exempt hunters to be able to receive a quota for wmas, that allow exemptions, so that they can have a quest permit for assistance, etc
