Hey guys. I have been all over the southern unit these past few months as this was my first year in the dedicated hunter program. I have been on the Beaver, Panguitch Lake, Cedar Mtn, Enterprise, Indian Peaks, Pacoon, Utah Hill, Bumblebee, Coral Pinks, and more. I saw lots of deer but mostly just small bucks. Never connected, but you know I had fun just being out in the pursuit of it all.
I am the type that wants so badly to connect with a good animal no matter the work involved and will go to great lengths to see these animals, but have to constantly remind myself to just have fun being out in nature. If hunting were easy then most of us wouldn't like it and have it get inside of our lives the way it does. These big ole bucks and bulls we chase are smart! That's the way it should be. So yeah I spent a couple grand on gas this year and never came home with nothing but it was a definite learning experience and I know where I want to concentrate next year.
Here is hint- why the heck don't more of us think to look around these premium tag areas? Is it just the Kanab guys that are smart?
Good luck all!
