I drew one of these tags just want a little help knowing which one to be hoping for? Also (6 bonus points) were these tags worth burning the points?
 
LAST EDITED ON May-27-11 AT 03:14PM (MST)[p]I wouldn't call 6 pts an issue of burning. I would call it very lucky. I know a lot of guys that have been puting in for over twice that long for a Panguitch lake tag. You drew what ever was your first choice. 2nd choice in Utah is a non-event. IMHO I would pick Panguitch Lake.
 
Tough call but I would still go Panguitch Lake late. My dad drew the Panguitch Lake late with 3 points this year. I have seen a lot more elk on the Pausaugunt in recent years, but not too many monsters. Lots of raghorns. Panguitch Lake got hammered by cow hunts that were easy tags to fill. The herd should recover really soon, hopefully this year.

300-330 bulls are do-able on both units for sure.

I was hoping the 6 point question was a DUMB one. First choice was the Paunsaugunt. Sounds like I will be happy with either. Now to get in shape and familiar with the area. Can't Wait!
 
Any pics./stories about the Paunsaugunt would really get me going. This will be my first LE in Utah and the general hunts have been very discouraging. Dreaming may be my favorite part of the hunt.
 
I drew the Paunsagunt archery tag a few years back and it was very discouraging. I have had better hunts with a general tag in my pocket for bigger bulls and more elk. I would be hoping for a Panguitch Lake tag if I could do it over again. Just my two cents worth.....Good Luck this fall!!!
 
Pauns elk only has like 300 head or so of elk. You cant even compare the two units! I grew up on the Panguitch and there are some really nice bulls up there.
 
I had the archery tag last year on the Pauns and I shot a pretty nice bull. I posted it once with me and my daughter with it. I am a computer idiot so I will try to get my wife to post a pic for ya.It was a tough hunt but a great hunt.
 
Notags2 I would love to see your photos! What was the title of your post when you posted earlier? I did get the Pausaugunt along with a Southern Deer. Should be a exciting year. This will be my first LE tag so I am pumped.
