Hunted it in the October hunt last year. Had a great time exploring the island and enjoyed the hunt. Did not see a ton of deer, but that is to be expected on a mid-October hunt. Found some great bedding and hunted near there. Had a mature 10 (approximately 145") at 43 yards that never presented me with the right shot and ended up winding me. I live within 45 minutes of the island, so lodging was not a factor in my decision. The campsites looked like it could be a good time!
Jared - got drawn this year. Mid october- any suggestions on where to start?
 
where did you stay the night Gravey? did you take a 4 wheeler?
I'm not Gravey but I stayed in Southaven and would do the same again. A 4-wheeler or SxS is a must.
We also stayed in Southaven and carried 4-wheelers. Hard to get around without one. It was hot on the October hunt but if I had the December hunt I'd probably camp there at the island.
 
My group did the December hunt in 2010 and rented an RV, hauled our four wheelers out there from Nashville with one in the pickup and two on a trailer. It was cooooolllllddddd that year. And no campfires allowed.
 
When I went in 2020 I camped at the gate and did so in the back of my pathfinder. The only thing that sucked was the other single camper there ran his generator all night long all three nights.
