I know it's a little late to be posting this, but maybe there are some clubs out there that aren't full! I live in Jacksonville by way of N GA in May and didn't realize til it was too late that the WMA's in Florida aren't open to public except for quota hunts! I love deer hunting, turkey hunt some too. I am a Christian man. I will respect all laws and club rules. I would need to be within an hour of Jacksonville if at all possible. If anyone knows of any openings on your lease or your pal's, please let me know! Thanks a bunch.
Generally...the first 9 days are reserved for quota hunts. After that public access. There are some like Apalachicola that has NO first 9 day hunts. ( I read your post to say no quota permit....no hunt)
Lots of non-quota hunting on local wma's.
Check out Osceola and Camp Blanding for starters.
Also, Altamaha in GA is real close to Jax if you are on the North side.
Yeah, there are a lot of non-quota hunts and I am counting on it this year. Just look at the brochures at myFWC for areas near you. They will tell you exactly what you need per species per date range.
