I am not looking for any honey holes or anything like that. We in our house were lucky enough to draw a couple tags this year. My boy drew a Youth Any Bull tag and I drew a LE Paunsaugunt Archery Deer tag.
I just need some general info to help us get started on the Paunsaugunt so we can make the most of our time down there scouting. We will be splitting our time between scouting for his hunt and mine so we need to make the most of it when we are there.
Any help or info would be great. Thanks guys.
 
I archery hunted the unit about 10 years ago, but I don't think much has changed since then for the bowhunt. Most of the deer are up on top of the plateau during the early season. I would start your scouting around Tropic Reservoir and south from there. Travel all the roads off the main road south of the reservoir and glass the open areas. You will find plenty of deer to look at.
 
Thanks, That is some good info to start on. We appreciate it, greatly.

I hunted it a couple years ago. Indeed there are lots of deer along the river on the top of the plateau. I found a couple good ones along there and one on Crawford.

I saw the buck I wanted the night before the opener, then never found him again. I did see the Crawford buck once during the hunt (he was the back-up buck), but no play that day. Other people were chasing him too.

It's a tough place if you ask me. I spent a lot of time scouting and a lot hunting. I was sick of being there by the end.

I spent a little time off the top over on the west side and saw a few bucks, but nothing great.

LAST EDITED ON May-21-14 AT 09:51AM (MST)[p]Thanks guys for the help, I really appreciate it. I don't want to take this hunt lightly but I don't want to bag my sons Bull Hunt either. Scouting time for both hunts are going to tax my time off so we need to make the most out of things when we get there. This info is a great starting point for us. Again we really appreciate anything you can give us.

Founder, Thanks for the pics, that got the blood boiling. LOL
