Hunting the Beaver Unit

I'm not camping. Where is a good place to stay? PC

What I've heard, it's the worst unit in the state for deer. So I hope your not planning on that hunt.

Are you looking for a Hotel on the Beaver unit ? If your scouting the north end. I know some guys prefer to stay in Filmore. When I was hunting the north Beaver for cow elk. We would also fill up in Filmore at the Maverik. I also don't mind there gas station food. I have a company Maverik card get to write off my gas bill. Only a couple Hotels in Beaver. I used my Rv when I was hunting up that way. Had two hunts up they way last year. But I can check with a few friends up that way if your looking for a cheap room or a clean room ? You also have Marysvale on the east side of the unit. I guess it depends on which side you are going to hunt and scout on ? Comfort inn in Beaver or Filmore . I do some work for them so I usually get the friends and family discount.

Best of luck hunting the Beaver unit. I have hunted archery and muzzy there for years. Finally gave up on it last year when our hunting party saw one small buck over a day and a half of hard hiking on the muzzy hunt. Just a few years ago, we would see 8-10 bucks a day. We would stay in a hotel in the City of Beaver.

Paul I was referring to your California plates on your truck. Some of the locals might not treat you well.

I am up and down the backside of that mountain Hwy 89 and junction 20. Traveling to Fish Lake.

Paul_Crawford · Apr 17, 2020

I know. lol Actually, I have never had that attitude from people in UT or WY. A little in CO years ago. I've been going to those states for so long I think I could run for mayor in some towns, and win! pc

Deerlove · Apr 17, 2020

Well Paul next time in Co take your Lezbaru, and you'll have no problems.

maddog58 · Apr 17, 2020

Make sure you eat at Arschels in Beaver. Great food

Paul_Crawford · Apr 17, 2020

What the heck is a Lezbaru?

elkassassin · Apr 17, 2020

JUDAS!

You've been here long enough to know what a LEZBARU is!

Yup , clam bumpers

ridgetops · Apr 18, 2020

Well IMHO, the Beaver unit is a win/win unit because your standards should be set very low and if you do get into the bucks, then it should be an awesome hunt. If you don't, well then it was as expected and you had a good time in the mountains anyway. Good luck.

Here's a popular one people seem to love....... lol

In all reality there may be a nice Airbnb that would give you access to a slightly bigger area with a kitchen for not a whole lot more than a hotel.

From the area, so never stayed in the hotels, but I've heard that the Delano Motel is amazing, and it's on the cheaper end. I have friends that will only stay there.

I'm sure the Best Western on the north end of town is a nice hotel. Heard good things about it.

Ridge, that is exactly my feeling. Bad hunting beats the hell out of CA!!! PC

And with several hundred tags cut this year. You'll see less pressure compared to the past few years.

Paul_Crawford · Apr 20, 2020

If I get drawn. Have two points. pc

Paul_Crawford · Apr 20, 2020

Cast, I'll be giving you a call. pc

chujing · Apr 29, 2020

2 points as well, hoping to draw Beaver, I figure my draw odds dropped from 60% to about 30% with tags being cut

dogvalleymule · Apr 29, 2020

I have hunted the Beaver for 60 plus years, it so bad last year they should shut it down for a few years

Founder · Apr 29, 2020

I used to hunt down there 20 years ago and sure chawed so big boys back then. Haven’t been down there in a while.

chujing · Apr 29, 2020

That bad?

Ooof. Maybe not drawing this year wouldn’t be the worst thing then

elkassassin · Apr 30, 2020

It Sure the HELL Ain't gonna Recover in just one year!

Sometimes it only takes two or three years to do the trick. Depending if there's a buck problem or an overall deer herd problem.

Amen, this unit is hurtin' for certain. I won't hunt it again until it rebounds. Which I sure hope it does.

elkassassin · Apr 30, 2020

So?

For All You Deer Herd Pro's?

When The Herd is Decimated or Hunted down to nothing!

It Has To Come Back From What's Left = JUNK!

JUNK Genetics!

JUNK Horn Growth!

JUNK Body Size!

You Really Think It Will rebound to what it once was?

NOTTA!

Until HELL-RIGHT is Enforced Just Keep Poundin them MOTL Bucks!

Deepcolor · Apr 30, 2020

Elk, I thought the OP was looking for hotel accommodations not unit advice! You always have to be a butt hole puncher?

Hey Paul. If you decide to stay on the east side drop me a PM. I own Pine Creek Cabins Resort in Marysvale. We usually wind down the season by the rifle deer hunt but we could keep a cabin open for you. I'm hoping to hunt the Monroe this year so I'll likely be there for that week.

Paul_Crawford · May 6, 2020

How far is Marysvale from Panguitch?

chujing · May 6, 2020

Is the deer herd all over the Beaver Unit struggling? Or just certain parts of the unit. Dog Valley Rd is a specific area I’m curious about. I haven’t been in there in 4 years. I have a chance to draw this year w my 3 points. Thank you

BIGJOHNT · May 6, 2020

Its about 50 miles south. Those little cabins they have in Marysville are really nice. Liz's and Charlie's is another one there. Some have little kitchens in them. Not sure how many stay open during hunting season ? You will need to check. It also depends on what tag you draw. If its archery you maybe ok.

So the years that Henry Mtn's closed down really made a dent in the genetics? ?

southernutahhunter · May 7, 2020

Chujing, from 4 years ago, the Dog Valley area will not look the same. It is very hard to find Doe or Buck anymore. Sad situation and continues to get worse.

Castnshoot · May 7, 2020

No doubt the Beaver herd is on a down cycle right now, I did see 12 head this morning on a 2 mile drive to the county trash dumpster.

One looked to be a decent buck with horns almost to his ears all ready.

Now that’s the kind of positivity I like the week before draw results! ????

elkassassin · May 7, 2020

With Proper Management there should not of been any Units Closed down!

Hello, my brothers and I have hunted the Beaver unit muzzleloader and archery for several years. We have stayed in a hotel in the city and just woken up early to drive in. It's nice to be able to rest in a comfy bed and have a shower haha. Good luck on the hunt!
