Anyone know of an outfitter/guide that works these units? Having real trouble googling up someone.

Thanks for the feedback! Looked at both online. Going to be a hard choice.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-11-19 AT 05:45PM (MST)[p]Live in California and I use gators to keep the hot summer burrs off my pants. I'm real happy with the pair I bought years ago at Bass Pro (or Cabelas) don't remember which one for sure. And they're cheap!

I'm looking for a internal frame pack that at minimum has a pouch for spotting scope, bladder compatible, straps for coats and things. Maybe enough room for one quarter of deer. Don't want a giant pack as I generally fill it till its full. And I don't want to spend over $200 ha, ha. Any...

i hunted down that way during the rifle hunt. I noticed by Wednesday that there were fewer deer stacked up at the fence then the prior 4 days. Seems like the deer were figuring it out. There are 10 to 12 underpasses for them to cross over 89. My hunting buddy and I did think that there s/b a...

I put in for 18 years for a Pauns rifle tag and drew a second choice general season tag on many occasions WITHOUT losing my pauns bonus points.

Just finished hunting the Pauns and took a very nice buck that I'm having mounted. Was it the buck of my dreams....no, but I choose to take it for a number of reasons. I'm willing to share where we hunted. We probably saw 200 to 300 deer a day of which 30 to 50 were bucks. For more info...

Thanks everyone for the great responses. Looks like the norm, unless a really bad experience is a minimum of 10% and goes up to about 15% if guide does an extraordinary job by making it a fun hunt w/friend regardless whether or not you harvest a desired buck. THANKS!

Its' interesting how there seems to be arguments supporting both opinions of this issue. I for one am a Californian that has been hunting out of state, mostly Utah, having made my first trip to Utah when I was 18. I'm 61 now. All my hunts to date have DIY on public land. Harvested some...

I know there was a former discussion string on this topic sometime back but I can't find it. I've drawn what amounts to a once in a life time rifle deer tag so I've hired a guide as I am a NR who doesn't know the area nor is able to scout beforehand. It's a 1 x 1 guide arrangement wherein I'm...

Thanks everyone who responded. Much appreciated and very helpful. No longer need more responses. By the way, Travis Roundy Taxidermy is still operating and may be reached at the phone number noted in this thread. mike

Pauns

Looking for a taxidermist in Kanab or St. George area for a muledeer mount. Looking for recommendations as I am out of the area. THANKS in advance!

I drew a Pauns rifle tag. Given that I'm a non-resident, I won't be able to scout as much as I'd like to increase my chances of success. Thus, I am looking for a reputable guide or a local hunter who might share their expertise. This will be a once in a lifetime hunt as it has taken 18 yrs to...
