Following is a little more detail of how things will work. Here's a link to the scource:

"The proposed rules changes would ...
change all quota hunt permits from transferable to nontransferable;
establish a guest permit issued through the FWC Total Licensing System (TLS) for Archery, Muzzleloading Gun, General Gun, Wild Hog, Mobility-Impaired and Spring Turkey hunt types;
-allow one guest permit per quota hunt permit;
-allow an individual to be the guest of only one quota permit holder per hunt;
-require the guest and host hunters to enter and exit the area together, share the same vehicle and share the bag limit;
-provide that the guest may only hunt when the host is present on the area;
-provide that the guest may bring no additional hunters;
-provide that the quota permit holder may bring only one additional hunter (one guest, one youth, one mentor supervisor or one mentor license holder);
-provide that only permits issued through the TLS are eligible for a guest permit; require the guest to hunt in the same zone as the host (on those areas with zone tags); and
-provide that these changes would not apply to the Blackwater WMA dog hunts or Holton Creek WMA.

The proposed rule changes also would ...
-expand quota hunt types from Archery/Muzzleloading Gun and General Gun to Archery, Muzzleloading Gun, General Gun and Wild Hog;
-allow up to 5 permits per hunt type (only one of which may be issued during the Phase I or Phase II drawings for each hunt type) and one permit per hunt number;
-expand the application period for Phase I drawing from 11 to 30 days;
-reduce the application period for Phase II drawing from 45 days to 15 days (change from first-come, first-serve to random drawing);
-allow preference points to accumulate for each year an applicant is not selected during Phase I;
-base the issuance of group permits on the group member with the lowest number of preference points;
-allow all quota permits to be returned postmarked prior to the hunt; allow returned permits drawn by preference to have preference points restored and an additional point awarded and those returned permits drawn during Phase I to have a preference point awarded; provide that returned quota permits be re-issued through TLS; and
-eliminate preference points if an applicant fails to apply for 2 consecutive years.

The proposed rule changes would adjust the number of quota permits issued for some hunts or adjust bag limits on the following wildlife management areas:

Croom (Muzzleloading Gun and General Gun from 400 to 300);
Hickory Hammock (General Gun Hog from 10 to 5);
KICCO (Spring Turkey from 15 to10); Upper Hillsborough River (Archery and Muzzleloading Gun from 150 to 75);
Andrews (Archery from 60 to 45, Muzzleloading Gun, and General Gun from 40 to 30 and Spring Turkey from 30 to 25);
Twin Rivers (Archery, Muzzleloading Gun and General Gun from 60 to 45 and Spring turkey from 24 to 20);
Joe Budd (Archery and Archery/Muzzleloading Gun from 50 to 35);
Dexter/Mary Farms (Archery, Muzzleloading Gun and General Gun from 40 to 30); and
Guana River (Spring Turkey bag limit from one per day to one per quota permit).
