I’m guessing we’re going to be better off doing the hunt at Portland, but anyone got experience with both that can weigh in? Does one have better on site amenities/camping than the other?
I’d do both! Get to see 2 amazing properties and have a chance to kill 12 does. I think you can kill 3 per person per hunt. Sounds like a helluva cool weekend to me! There are so many deer on those properties one isn’t much better than the other. Neither has amenities. Y’all gonna have to stay at a state park or in Camden maybe. I’d go ahead and book it now. Maybe a VRBO or Air B&B?

Thanks for the info, somehow I was under the impression that Portland Landing had walk-in in cooler, good skinning/processing station and possibly even a lodge? I didn’t know if cedar creek had anything like that. We accepted both and going to see if my Brother is interested in going. I went ahead and booked one of the big cabins at Roland cooper state park, looked like one of the closest options and looks like a pretty good place. Also saw they have a really nice deer processing area in the state park now, so that could be handy if the SOA’s don’t have one.
