So how many points does it take to draw an uchee creek, ceder creek or portland late season gun hunt ? More than 4, apparently! I’m hoping to be able to draw in the next few years before the point creep gets too bad on those properties

I drew Portland 1/17 last year as an alternate with 5 points and got bumped up to Hunter.
My wife drew a bunch of Jan gun hunts on Portland, Cedar, and Uchee this year with 6 points

I pulled alternate then hunter on Portland landing for primitive. Now I realized there’s a doe slaughter the week before. Hoping the bucks understand it wasn’t about them.

I had 5 points. Went from not selected to alternate to hunter in the span of 45 minutes. Wife got selected for several hunts last year with 7 points.

Got bumped to hunter for Cedar Creek 1/14 hunt. Will that be a little early to hit the rut? You’re in the chips. About as perfect timing wise as you can get.

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. I was at Portland last year and stayed at Roland copper in one of the cabins. Very nice complex and they did a good job on the deer processing area. Less than 10 minutes and you are at the sign in board for Portland. Good luck!

Thinking about taking that one also That’s a good time to be there. There’s some good cutovers on that place. It gives up a couple of good ones every year. Hunted it on and off since the 70s. You should hit the rut perfectly

Just declined about 30 hunts between my wife and my dad. Y'all keep an eye on your emails, they might trickle on down to you.
