I hunted the 9a and b every chance I got. Do not know what they call them now.
My secret there was to get a training area map and find a good atea near the center of the area. Terrain, feed sources and ease of getting in to it all played. The average guy there wanders up and down the emergency access roads. They move deer all day long and a strategically placed stand produced action for deer and turkeys throughout the day. Many of the roads that were on the perimeter were locked, walk in access only. Used a bike to get in and to take deer out.
Been 20 years, but I hunted it during TBS, and tours at HQMC and staff college instructor tours. The areas in 9 produced for me during 70's, 80's and 90's
