Wife just got a call that someone turned in the Premium Pauns tag SHE is next on the list. Want to take it, but have no idea where to start scouting. Any help from all of you would be greatly appreciated. I know its short notice, but it seems like a once in a lifetime chance!
 
My buddy just called with the exact same situation on the same premium tag!
Seems like a small rash of guys turning those tags back. There will always be a few this time of year when guys realize "OMG, I have to go hunting". Haha
Good luck.

"Hunting is where you prove yourself"


Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?
 
It has been a super tough summer on the Pauns. My boy has the archery tag and has spent a considerable amount of time scouting, hanging cameras, etc. He has yet to turn up a bull better than a decent rag horn. The Pauns can be a tough, tough elk hunt. I would think long and hard before you accept that tag and are out of the game for the amount of points she has and the five year waiting period. I have seen better bulls on General OTC areas this year than what I have seen showing up on the Paunsaugunt. Not too surprised to see tags being turned in down there, my boy may be in that same boat before the hunts starts. Best of luck whatever you decide.
 
Hey Zeke,

Did your buddy take the tag? Just realized there were only two premium tags... Wonder if it was two people who put in together?
 
Crazy that both tags got turned in. I would take the tag in a heartbeat! What size of bull would she be happy with? If you have the time to dedicate yourself to the hunt take it. I had a muzzleloader tag in '09 and had an awesome hunt. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me.
 
Positive side to the premium tag u do get to hunt the whole rut. I seen several shooter bulls Last year and seen a decent bull down there this year on a camping trip. PM me if you need anymore info. Good luck!

Yessir, My buddy took the tag...to my knowledge. He was supposed to talk with another friend, Mr DnD.
