Hen Turkey Paunsaugunt

[elknut]

I have a "hen" turkey tag this spring, any advice for "hen" turkey hunting on the Paunsaugunt will be helpful. I will NOT be hunting for a trophy "tom" so no need to worry about giving out any "honey holes"!

OK you shed hunters where are the turkeys?

How in the world did you get a "hen" tag?

They must be trying to get those tom to hen ratios back into order

It's a proven fact that hen turkeys eat sagebrush seeds, that in turn competes with Mule deer habitat, thus the Utah DWR and NWTF is trying to keep the hens in check to recover the Paunsaugunt deer numbers. I got my hen turkey tag during the SWF Banquet drawing; they have a ton of them.

Prism -tom to hen ratios recovered in 06 however we need to shoot a few more hens or reintroduce wolves!

I didn't think I would need to explain so much just to get some help here I guess I better just take a drive.

How can one get himself a "hen" tag? My wife has a Tom tag and I'd like to keep the population even. Shouldn't have any problems finding a hen or tom in that country. That'd make a cool mount too. A hen and tom doing what they do Strutting of course.
