Long time visitor first time poster(3+years). let me start by saying that i have learned a lot from this sight. now im that lucky SOB that even my own friends want to kick my a$$! i drew a Wasatch Premium elk tag last year with 1 point. didn't close the deal, but had a blast running around the mountain with elk bugleing 50 yards away the whole time. i went into it thinking it was a OIL tag.even having never taken a big game animal in my life(1000+ birds) i wasn't going to settle for anything less then a trophy. ate tag soup and i can live with it. well lightning has stuck the same place twice. i drew a pauns muzzloadrer deer tag with 0 points! i put it down as a joke thinking that it isn't even possible. so here is my question to you all what should i settle for on the pauns? from what ive read it seems like its on the downward slope but still holds a lot of deer and some real monsters. im a broke 22 year old college student at the UofU working full time this summer so 2 weeks of scouting is about all i can possibly manage.(stupid summer school!)any advice on where to start scouting would be amazing. heck anyone that wants to chase muleys around the pauns is more then welcome.
 
seeing what is around during the summer season I would go high and then low to learn the road systems,Your hunt Hopefully will be during the migrate. Second thing I would do is Take donuts in to Muley Crazy office every day your down there, That can't hurt.

Last fall a fair number of 4 year olds were seen. They'll e a year older this year. I'll e-mail you a handful of photos we took in November south of the highway to Page. You can look them over and decide if you like what was left from last year, and there are better than these that survived the hunts.

Good luck on your hunt. The anticipation and the scouting are as fun as the harvest. The pauns. is a fantastic place to see, the hunt's a bonus. It's about as much fun as you can have with your cloths on.

Well after those pics im not sleeping for awhile! my "dream buck" is a big 4 point with some trash and that seems to be the theme out there. ive used up all my luck so i need to make this one count!
 
First need thing you need to do is ditch the summer school man! Get your priorities straight.
 
Nick - for starters, the muzzy tag is the best tag down there IMO. There are some great deer down there still. It is NOT what it used to be but with a little patience and persistance you will do fine. Find the tanks South of the highway and you should have plenty of deer to glass over. Good luck and have fun. If you approach this tag like your elk tag you will have a good time looking for the right buck.


It's always an adventure!!!

Congratulations on your good fortune. I have hunted the unit twice in the last few years, including the muzzleloader hunt in 2008. I would be more than happy to help you out and provide some information. Give me a call.

Hawkeye i will defiantly take you up on that offer. im in the process of looking over maps and all that fun stuff so i dont come into conversation with no clue about the area.

PS haha ya my first thought was to drop the summer school classes. then i realized ive used a lifetime of luck in the draw already so my only chance at LE tag after this is to get that business degree and buy one at auction one day.
 
Dear Nick:

I tried and tried to forgive you, and just can't seem to do it! I had 14 points as a non-resident, and still can't get that darn Pauns tag. :(

Congrats and hope you smoke a monster. Guess I'll have to live vicariously thru your hunting report this Fall.

No offense bull but i dont think you have seen the proc this year. the muzz hunt was the best now it and the rifle hunt are switched from what they used to be the muzz will be a migration hunt at best.
