Thank you !!!

I was figuring to grab one at Walmart when I got there.  Then I found conflicting info on the web as to whether Walmart sold them or not.

Definitely use the link, input the county you're staying in to find local Wally World would be my suggestion. But if you're driving down, you can always swing by many in route.
If all else fails, the 888 number works good and they provide you with a confirmation number should you be checked by the man while afield (they have the info already on their computer/radio dispatch).

Best of luck, get a good ol biggun!
They've been on fire for months here with weather currently in the 90°s and been in the 80°s for the past month.

If you don't mind me asking, what county or closest city will you be hunting near?

And you're very welcome!
Hunting in another state can be tricky with different agencies and state laws, if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

You can download the my fwc app as well.  Florida is very friendly in obtaining a license.  The tough part is hunting state land and understanding the quota dates sometimes

I'll add to the original question.  I'm pretty sure I have it figured out but want to confirm.

I've already bought the hunting license, turkey license, and WMA permit online and printed it right then.  It appears that there is no "tagging" requirement, so I'm not actually going to notch, date or sign a tag upon killing a bird.  Is this correct?

That is correct.  Our fwc has not figured out how to do a true tag system like other states.  For some it turns a 2 bird limit into unlimited bird.  No way to really know what has been killed.

I'm hunting 4 days as it looks now.

First 2 days near Gainesville in Alachua county.  Second 2 days near Lake Kissimmee in Polk county.

Weather is great...was a dry spell but got some rain today, supposed to cool off a tad(50s low) been in the high 80s, was every bit of low 90s today/yesterday.

No need to print your license. When asked to see my license I always use my phone.
