That doesn't really help me out any. Some actual input would be nice. Not some random been there done that. What the hell happened to this website. Used to come here and get advice and help. Now it's who is the biggest ashole. Or who can make a post that is full of drama.

Sorry for pissing you off Aaron, I wanted you to be careful without airing out a batch of dirty laundry in public.
I drew the missouri flat deer tag a number of years ago, I believe the same person is still operating the hunting lease on the ranch.
Like you I hunted the Pahvant and saw good bucks on the CWMU. However, I wanted to hunt late, on the portion of the Unit next to Interstate 15, where the bucks move to for the rut, after the rifle hunt starts on the top of the unit, where the other section of the CWMU is located. I contacted the operator before I applied and he told me we could work out a time and a location, if I drew the tag. I drew the tag. I attempted to contact the operator, to arrange for a late season hunt on the lower portion of the CWMU. He would not answer my calls. I received a letter in the mail in early October, telling me I had to hunt in mid-October. I tried and tried to call him and eventually he answered my calls and told me to leave him along, I had my dates and my location in my letter and there would be not further discussion, goodbye. Of course the deer were off the top and not yet at the bottom because in was still too early in October. The end result was very few deer on the property, very poor hunt and a very unsatisfactory experience with the operator. I wrote up a report, at the request of the Southern RAC and submitted it to the UDWR for review. Never heard anything from anyone.
Your experience may be completely different from mine. I just wanted to caution you, to make sure you had your ducks in a row, before using your hard earned point on the unit
Next time I'll keep my mouth shut and let folks proceed as they choose. Best regards.

You didn't piss me off. I wanted to hear and get details on the unit. And you sharing your experience is enough for me to not consider putting in for it now. Thank you for that I would hate to burn my points and go through that. I'm sorry they didnt treat you right. I'm very hesitant about putting in for cwmu's. I hear so many bad stories about them.
I honestly feel if they don't give the public tag holder, the same treatment as a private tag holder, that they should lose the privalage of getting the private tags.
Sorry I came off as mad I've just seen a trend forming on here where individuals aren't here to help others. Rather they are on here to ruffle feathers.
Thank you for the reply it helped me with make my choice a lot easier.

I'd stay clear of the unit. I drew it with 1 point a few years back. In the end I'd much rather have that 1 point and the 2 I'd have got during the waiting period. Could be a decent hunt but the operator is not interested in making it a good experience for the public hunter.
