Hopefully, the standard quotas prove better for me, because it has been a poor start:
No - Lox x 2
No - Woordruff x 2
No - Sambar
No - Merritt Island

Allapatta is a wasteland nothing but pepper trees, power lines, and pastures. Better off returning that permit or better yet sitting in the truck and drinking a cold one while I suffer through the hunt for you

Struck out on muzzloader as well. Just a point building year anyway. Crazy that it takes as long to draw a mediocre whitetail hunt in south Florida as it does for a prime elk or mule deer hunt out west

I’ve never hunted Lake Woodruff, but tried researching it and did not find a lot of information. Curious if you have previously hunted it and, if so, your impressions and why you would maybe return the special opportunity tag for it. |

Nothing wrong with Woodruff, you don't necessarily need a boat for bow, w ML you need a boat. A woodruff tag is not special opportunity, just federal land vs state land, overseen by USF&W. I have hunted it archery in the past, never saw or shot anything - just seen other hunters. Normal public land pressure and stuff to deal with. Took 3 points to get the tag. Can't bring a guest. FL hunting mostly sucks. The guys who do well down here can kill good bucks anywhere in the country. |

I'll be back to buying points in WY for antelope, hope to go in 10 or 11 years. It would be better if they let us buy points down here instead of having to apply and be unsuccessful or return the tags to get point. |

Basically you would just not pay for the permit by the deadline then it becomes available during Phase 2 as FCFS. Once you pay for it, the permit is not returnable. |

A little OT here but concerning tags, permits, opportunities... CO has just taken away OTC archery elk tags away from non residents.
Enjoy what you can, while you can. A little bit carved out of existence every year. These are the very best years for some of you younger hunters.
No disrespect to the game animals, but taking 3 plus years of preference points to hunt a stupid animal on a specific WMA is completely stupid. This is especially true concerning FL hunting.
SELLING points, by the state, to hunt public land should be illegal. Talk about putting the blue collar man at a disadvantage... Might as well bring back a newer version of market hunting or just make people pay to "hunt" on privately penned animals on a pay to play ranch or game farm... No wonder poaching has become so popular these days.

No wonder poaching has become so popular these days. dont wanna say i told you so but i told you so 2 years ago, not you but anyone that would listen. colorado is history for outa state hunters on public land, the gay governors husband or wife whichever it is they both have dicks is a big time animal activist and loves him some wolves. fights non stop to protect wolves and is against any type of hunting. colorado voted for these democrat queens and now sportsmen are paying the price, fwc has got a few anti hunters on the payroll right now so dont be surprised when more restrictions come your way. |

After an unsuccessful start,
No - Lox x 2
No - Woordruff x 2
No - Sambar
No - Merritt Island
ended up doing really well - between myself and family members, on our standard quotas:
First pick archery (no points)
First and second pick muzzleloader (for first pick, 2 pref. points)
First and second pick general gun (for first pick, 2 pref. points)
Now, I’ve gotta figure out how I can get away from work.
