Mill Creek Watershed ML Quality Bull

[PA BEN]

I put in w 5 points knowing I wouldn't draw. Well I did. I've hunted the Tucannon so I know what kind of country I'm in for. It's my understanding it's a closed area so scouting is out? Is there any guides that can guide in there? Any help on this hunt would be great. Thanks

Congrats 👍 It's going to b a fun hunt with a smoke pole.

No licensed guides or packers in there.  No scouting inside the watershed. 

I assume ML is muzzleloader -  Gonna be a tough hunt for sure competing with the rifle hunters.

Good luck - its beautiful country

I drew that tag last year but with rifle. That terrain is going to make ML tough. Pm me if you have questions I'll tell you what I know.

Nice work!  I think there were only 6 bulls killed in there last year.  You have a picture to share??

[JoeE]

See if this works

The weather was awful in there last year. Rain, wind, fog, sleet. It was hurricane type conditions. That and the terrain is just brutal.

Congratulations on your luck! Pretty sure you can use any weapon in there for that draw. Any weapon meaning Archery, Muzzle Loader and Rifle. May your luck continue into November!

Not accurate. You have to hunt with the weapon you chose. All the permit hunts happen at the same time, but if you drew with a muzzleloader permit, you hunt with your muzzleloader.

  I drew that tag last year and then buggered up my knee enough that I chose not to go knowing what the area was like.  From the weather report Joe gave after his hunt my powder would have been soggy anyways.
