Beaver Unit Deer Herd

[southernutahhunter]

Can any of you Archery hunters give us an idea of how the deer herd looks on the Beaver unit?

I've been out there a couple times this year because my kids drew muzzy tags for it. It doesn't look any better than last year, which was by far the worst I've ever seen there. Everyone I talked to including locals had the same to say about it last year. There are still deer but you're going to have to work for it much more.

"Working harder" for them isn't very successful if there's nothing there to work for.
This unit needs some very serious help.

Hate to say it but its pretty bad again this year, less deer and lots of people. Opening morning saw more hunters than bucks

I agree Slam. This unit needs some help. I've hunted this unit I believe 9 out of the last 12 years. It was really good in the past and from my experience it seemed like it just shut down all at once. The last couple years have been pathetic. I wasn't going to put my kids in for it, but I put it down as one of their choices and they all drew Beaver Muzzy.

One of my boys also has a Southwest Desert pronghorn muzzy tag with the same dates. I'm planning to camp on the west side of the Beaver unit, hunt with the kids morning and evening for deer and then hunt pronghorn in the middle of the day. The units border each other so it should work out.

It's my triplets first year to hunt deer. They will be happy just to put meat on the table. My daughter has killed nice bucks on the Beaver two out of the last three years. She is unlike most girls who kill a deer and then daddy takes over. She cleans it, packs it, skins and quarters it herself. I wish her mom would take after her. ;-)

I know this is really late from your original post & I see that most on here that spend way more time than I do in the unit have a less than favorable opinion of it.
That being said... myself & 3 buddies started out last year in Beaver West on an archery elk hunt before throwing in the towel to hunt Beaver East. I personally saw 2 giant bucks over there that I know exceeded 200?.
I can't recall the local game wardens name but he drew for that unit & I'm guessing it was because he knew those bucks were in there.

Just looked in my phone and the game wardens name was Brandon White.
PM me if you want and I will give you his number so you can pick his brain.
