Lower Roanoke Gamelands

My Dad and I drew muzzleloader permits for the Lower Roanoke this year and plan to take the boat up the river and camp. First time going on a hunt like this, just hope the river will cooperate. For those that have done this hunt before, what is the pressure like? I noticed there are quite a few permits issued for the particular tract we drew.

It depends. I’ve been down there during muzzleloading and had it to myself and also been there and people were everywhere. Not knowing which tract your hunting I can’t help much but going in by boat will cut down on some pressure but not by much. Be sure to have a couple thermocells each and also snake boots.

Never been there but disabled friend drew a permit so will be taking him in couple weeks. I've been told if get bunch rain can be impossible get in there
 
Well, took off to go and a wheel bearing went out on my boat trailer. Was running on a tight schedule anyway, and that pretty much killed the trip. Thanks for the replies anyway guys.
