Good morning,
Thanks in advance for any positive comments.
I currently have 22 Utah resident elk points. I'm seeking advice from fellow Sportsman that have recently hunted or are familiar with either unit during the Muzzleloader hunts.
My family is from Southern Utah. My dad's family is from Panguitch and my mom's is from Escalante. I've live in Utah my whole life.
I'm trying to decide between the two units. After researching the odds, I believe I've got descent odds of drawing either unit.
I'm curious what unit you would put in for and why? What unit do you think has the most potential during this hunt? I think the Boulder is harder to glass and has potential for turning up a bigger bull but obviously the the Pahvant holds great bulls too. Both are managed for the same age class. My goal is a 350+ class bull.
With a five year waiting period after you draw and the amount of years it takes to draw this tag, its a once in a lifetime hunt in my opinion.
I've been on both units during the summer many times and have seen elk, but I'm not exactly sure where the elk will move to during the rut. I've always hunted deer the same time in a different unit during the Muzzleloader.
Obviously I'm not looking for your honey holes. I'm just looking for general areas to check out if I'm lucky enough to draw. How's the quality of bulls you've seen lately on these units?
I appreciate your advice and knowledge. Good luck on your hunts this year!
