Mill creek watershed
« on: September 27, 2025, 04:45:45 PM »
Was lucky enough to draw this year. I have been over scouting what little you can from boundary. It looks like awesome elk country and should be a blast. Any advice, tips or tricks anyone would like to share would be appreciated and if anyone other tag holders want to chat that is always appreciated. Thanks for the look and hope everyone is having a great year.

Been a while since I helped my buddy out on that hunt, as you already know, it’s very steep and roadless.  If you come in from the bottom, be prepared to cross the creek a few times.  Long way in from the bottom, I’d rather hunt from up top.  Have a couple good strong buddies w ya!  Hunt hard when the weather is good, good luck!

Did you see any elk? the blue mtn herd is getting small. That tag went from 40 to 15 in a few years. I would suggest shooting the first one you see. A friend was in there last year and saw cows everyday but only a handful of bulls.

Just tagging in to see how your hunt goes.  Good luck!  :tup:

We got two bulls bugling and seen two bulls a small 5pt way in the bottom and a spike crossed the road into the unit by table rock. That was the only physical animals we seen besides a bear.

those watershed elk dont move around a whole lot until the hunters come in. If you have bulls pinned your in good shape.
