LAST EDITED ON May-25-15 AT 08:12PM (MST)[p]Sorry, I thought the Premium term meant that the hunter could hunt all three weapons seasons, archery, muzzy, and rifle. My mistake.
As dillion mentioned, there are lots of places to camp on the unit. Hundreds of miles of two track roads and ATV authorized trails, and as far as I know you can still camp any where you want, so long as you stay on designated roads with your vehicle.
I like the Seaman Canyon Road because it's fairly central on the south end of the unit.
Will you have an ATV of some kind, because you're headed for a pure, and I mean pure sand, desert. 4x 4 trucks can get around but not as well as ATV/UTVs. Diesel trucks are marginal, due to the weight. Regardless, bring a shovel, a high lift jack, two or three tow straps and a com-a-long. You may not need it.........I have, many times, before I started using ATV/UTVs.
If you're not comfortable shooting out to 300 and 400 yards, (coming from Michigan???) it might be a good idea to spend some time shooting at those kinds of ranges. There is a lot of wide open sage country there, as well as thick pinion/juniper forests, thick enough to require hands and knees access. Shooting close and shooting far are both very possible situations.
It's a magical place, you'll fall in love with it. No need for concern, just come prepared for the conditions and you will get to live out all the fun of a Paunsaugunt mule deer hunt.
Maybe the most fun of all is the anticipation, every day, every minute, that the next deer you see will have a massive set of antlers, because.................you just might!
Here is a website with a few bucks from the area that a gentleman from down that way took, just in case your not sufficiently motivated yet. ;-)
