Title: Unit 157/ Mil creek/ Watershed
Post by: jager on October 25, 2010, 08:35:35 PM: So... I'm gonna ask for some information, not for myself, but for my nephew whom I'll be hunting with this coming weekend.
He drew a watershed bull permit...his first time putting in for this unit my 7 or 8th time....
He's done some research but I would like to have my own info so I can combine with what he's got and be a little more "sure" of the info. I trust you guys :chuckle:
I know.. fog, steep, nice bulls... It's gonna kick my butt!
If anybody has some nuggets of info they would like to share it would be much appreciated!
Feel free to PM me if you want.
Oh, and I will be posting pics after the hunt!

GOOD LUCK!
