Mill Creek Watershed ML Quality Bull

It will be quite a challenge with a muzzy, definitely get in shape and learn to shoot far.

The weather in there last year literally rivaled some Tsunamis I went through when I was stationed on Okinawa.

Why would it be quite the challenge w a muzzleloader?

[MtnMuley]

Because you're going to be there with 39 other guys, most with a rifle. You will most likely all start from the same place. There will always be a guy one step ahead and with you limited to shooting WA legal muzzy distances, your odds are definately stacked against you. Especially for a higher end bull for the unit. As you know, the unit is all downhill in some of the steepest n deepest country you will ever hunt bulls in. With its closely monitored regulations, this stacks up as one of the most demanding hunts in the state IMO.

And to add, the weather can really screw you.  The rifle guys don't have to worry about rain blowing sideways like the muzzy guys.  If I were you, I'd hit the timber and hope for a close encounter.  When I was in there with a buddy we got to within 80 yards of a bull twice, it can happen, I'm not saying it's impossible at all.  Just a heck of a challenge, you'll get it done.  I just don't know how many bulls I'd pass, just pray for good weather.

You still have to hunt no matter what you hunt with. I've bow hunted for elk for many years, this is the 4th time I've hunted elk w a muzzleloader. I have yet to kill an elk over a 100 yds. BTW, I will eat tag soup before I shoot a rag horn in a hell hole.

I love your attitude.  If anyone can put one down with a smoke pole, with your determination, that will be you.   Hit it hard and best of luck

You're off to a good start. You'll do well. Get in shape. The best shape you can be.
Also, get a good hunting buddy who's in good shape as well. I look forward to that bull you kill.

Will be a great hunt!

For those of you who know the rules in the shed can a hunter hang a game camera in there during the hunt?

I don't see why not, as long as it's during the time you can be in there. 

[HUNT]

There wasn't anything in the rules about game cameras when I was last in there.  I would say go for it!

[PA BEN]

For those of you who have hunted this tag, is there several access points into the shed? Kinda makes it hard to get away from the other hunters.
