LAST EDITED ON May-19-16 AT 08:12AM (MST)[p]My dad and I both put in for this unit separate and he ended up with the tag. First time putting in for the Dutton, guess this will be our new obsession for a while.

Dad is 68 but can get around the hills well... We packed in over 15 miles into our elk camp on horseback last year. What about packers for the dutton, for a drop camp style hunt? Anyone have any recommendations? How about just people to talk to that may have had the tag or know the unit? We are coming from CA which is not that far so we will do a scouting trip in July.

Looks like lots of shale, oak brush and some quakie country, big drainages and canyons. The season runs Aug 20th to Sept 16 - If I had to guess we would go the last 10 days.

Any pics or PM's or just want to talk hunting hit me up... I still don't have a tag and down to NV and ID left to go...
 
I had the tag 2 years ago pm me and I will give you some info.

PM me and I can show what Mt Dutton success looks like just last year. Whether you want to pack in and camp or pack in each day. Lots of great options on the Dutton. Outstanding unit and one of the best tags to have in my opinion.
 
LAST EDITED ON May-20-16 AT 11:17AM (MST)[p]I own a pack llama business and we do drop camps and rentals and we aren't too far from Dutton (Cedar City). After using horses for years, I can honestly say I think llamas are much better for backcountry hunting. Give me a text/call if you're interested (435-256-7882)!

Congrats on an Awesome tag! If you've never stepped foot on "the rock" just brace yourself for some really rugged country. I'm super jealous you guys get to hunt that place this year, gonna be a few more years for me before I can even apply for it again. If you go with an outfitter, one of the best for that unit has already posted in this thread.

My main advice would be to start preparing physically right now, bike, run, jog, swim, whatever you can do to get in the best shape of your life will help tremendously!

Have fun!!!
