Hunted with my brother Pauns Muzzle hunt last year. Fun great hunt. Did'nt see any monsters over 190. It is the best hunt on the Pauns. I would think for a buck over 180 pauns would be better possibility. If you wanted a 30 inch 3x3 there are a quite few of them on the Pauns. Books may have more 170 class deer. Never hunted the Books. Just from a little research. Good luck.
