One of the most enjoyable hunts of my life. Spent most of the time with family and good friends. Found a giant, saw lots of bucks, had a very close encounter with a great buck, and got this one that made me happy as can be. Probably my last chance to hunt the Pauns, but a good way to end it...
That's a beautiful deer. I'd say 180 frame 190 gross. I'd sure like to find out by putting him on the ground. Thanks for sharing. Always fun this time of year. Usually everyone guesses way low, but doesn't seem to be the case on this buck so you've got a nice one spotted. Hope you find him again.
385 is hard to find anywhere in the state now days. Not likely to find that type of bull on the Wasatch. I'm sure they exist, but are few and far between. Good luck.
Youtube just banned instructional firearm videos. They have a very liberal group monitoring their content now. I would encourage all sportsman to move to a different format such as dailymotion. Deleted my youtube account today.
RE: Paunsaugunt vs. Henry's
If you hunt hard on the Henry's you will kill a good buck. You can hunt hard on the Pauns and not end up with a giant. At the same time you can run into a giant opening morning, but with your sons along, my guess is you will not have the time for the three hunts on...
Wow, what a buck. I come up with 210 gross. I feel sorry for the guy who did may the errant shot, but glad for you that he didn't blow the antler off! Well done.

Let me share with you something the state of Utah understood at the time we all purchased our lifetime licenses. It's called compound interest. $500.00 invested in an index fund 30 years ago is now worth $9329.00. (That's the S&P last 30 years 9.794% rate) If you divide that by the 30 years of...
LAST EDITED ON Nov-04-16 AT 01:44PM (MST)[p]Nothing big this year, but this is the first year both my son and I were able to connect with our bows. Getting old with a lot of memories, but this is one of the best memories! Hope I was able to upload the photos.
You see, I cannot find him... it's been twenty years now and I'm starting to lose confidence.....Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Good luck Kawboy and goldhunter. If you don't know the unit, better do your homework. Many hunters go planning to have a hard time staying off the trigger and would be glad to find a 340 by the end of the hunt. It's a tuff hunt, but it does have some awesome bulls. I hope you both find the bull...
Wow, awesome bull Hunter. Sounds like you've got a great teacher and some awesome hunting together ahead. Hard to beat this outing though. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, they may have a case, but there's no point in prosecuting hunters who are trying to obey the law. They are just making enimies of those who would normally support them. This DWR officer is doing more harm than good which is too bad. Most DWR officers I've met and delt with have been great...
Don,
Thanks for the the time and effort you and others put in on behalf of Sportsman, even if many are too stupid to understnad the good you and SFW do. I get so sick of hearing people here get down on the SFW and the F&G for that matter. Most of you have no clue how much money it takes to run...
Am I the only one that saw that elk hunt on "Hooked on Utah?" If no one killed the bull that was on there, this year, and I haven't heard of it being killed, I'd be putting in for Indian Peaks.
