I hunted Portland the first year Elm Bluff got the hunting rights. The place was awesome. It was covered with big bucks, turkeys, and hogs. I did not shoot a buck that season just because I didn�t get a chance at one of those old swamp donkeys. I did see lots of bucks and several nice 3.5 year olds.
I scored over 20 bucks that season that were taken by club members. These 20+ bucks I scored ranged from 120 to 153 gross. The largest two were a 153 in 11 point and an unreal 146 in 8 point. The 8 was massive and it had almost a 22 in inside spread.
It was truly a place of dreams for a deer hunter. Key word there is WAS.
I do believe it could be great again though. It would require a great amount of control and folks that really wanted to improve it.
