My 2010 Pahvant Adventure
Never has a waterproof piece of paper been so valuable. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be holding a tag to hunt Bull Elk on one of the best units in the state, ?The Pahvant?.
To be completely honest, I have never set foot on the Pahvant unit. It's a place where my father and Great Grandfather used to hunt deer. A place that I grew up hearing stories about.
The stories about the Pahvant have changed throughout the years however. Now it seems all you hear about are ?Big Bulls?. It's a place that the Mossback team never overlooks. A place that millionaires like Karl Malone choose to hunt. A unit that has produced state record bulls and plenty of 400 class bulls. A land of true giants.

With a tag of a lifetime in my hand, I begin my adventure looking at maps and talking with everyone I can about the Pahvant. Monstermuleys has been a great a source of information with great people that are very helpful. I have talked to several members about locations and expectations. I have also met and talked with a few friends and family friends that have hunted the unit in the past. One of which hunted the unit last year and took a 380 monster with his bow. This bull is officially the new number 15 archery bull in the state.
My schedule is pretty tight this year. I work full time and we are so busy that I have been working weekends regularly. My wife works full time as well, and we have a 2 year old that needs a lot of attention. To top it all off we have another little one due in July this year. Scouting will be tough, but I think if I can at least go down and look at the terrain and places I have mapped out, I'll be alright. From what I have heard, the bulls won't be in the rutting area until the actual rut down there anyway. So my scouting will basically be sizing up bulls and looking for water sources in the rutting areas.
July 2nd and 3rd will be my first scouting trip. I will be going down and hope to see some bulls and get some pics. I will report back after the trip.[/img]
