Glad to hear I wasnt the only one, and definitely not from lack of trying, that had a tough hunt on the unit. Dont get me wrong I love success stories and think that is basically why I come on this site, but the Pine Valley unit sucks and even though I live in it, I dont think I will try for a tag here again.
The funny thing about all of it, or maybe not so funny is how much negative attention the Cache unit gets, and even had leftover tags that ulitmately rolled over to rifle, but somehow managed to have a stellar year. Yes, the snow helped but plenty of big bucks were killed before the snow hit last week.
This brings up the bigger question, why does Southern Utah get so much attention and noteriety for general units when in all reality it's like hunted a nuked bomb wasteland with very little to no deer? Man I would much rather hunt some real mountains with quakie and aspen paches than junpiper bushes etc.
Next year I'm going Northern Utah and hopefully east to Colorado.
