I got picked for Cedar Creek SOA Unit 3 and 4 for Feb 2-5. Any of Ya ever hunted these 2 units? What should I expect for those areas and for that time of hunting season there? It looks like it should be a good area just looking at map with Cedar Creek being the North border of the units but I really have no idea about the land yet. I am going on the scouting days to try and get a small feel for the lay of the land there.

I’m 7&8 same weekend. Looks very good .

I am excited about having the opportunity to hunt in a great area for deer hunting.

Used to hunt it many years ago before it was a soa. Units 1,2,3,4 were my favorite areas. 4 used to be a huge flat cutover with real good hunting especially around the creek. 3 is hillier and had a lot of thick cedars. I saw a big 10 pt in 3 but didn't get him. I'm jealous.

Should be a fun weekend. Hoping for a nice buck and a pig or few.

How about units 14 & 15? Any particular places to key in those units?

Never hunted those areas but as I recall it was a lot of pine plantation in those areas. A friend would bowhunt isolated oaks dropping acorns in that area.

Those cedars (in that area of the state) are money when it’s really cold and windy. The cedars provide a big wind break and if the suns out it it will have deer through it.

My son got units 3 & 4 for the youth weekend antlerless hunt. If we get to do the scouting, it would only be that Sunday afternoon. I’m happy to share any intel, but we’ll likely be doing pretty lazy hunting with only does and a kid hunting.

The cedar has been logged on the whole place

We hunted 3 a couple years back. The only way we scored was climbing a tree on the road at the NE corner where it runs into section 2. The adjacent landowner to the north had the lushest plots and corned very heavily. The deer were in section two and would come across the road headed there. Everywhere else was a bust because of that.
