Ya, a guy hasn't seen his wife in several weeks and while they're back at the motel. She starts rubbing his back and he tells her " not right now dear, I need to keep the guys on the forum updated about my hunt. Why don't you watch tv or something". I'm sure that would go over really well.

A week straight of "neck rubs" for a guy with a bad heart? Sounds like his wife is looking for a life insurance payout.
 
BTW - If anyone here wants to get miserably sick no problem. Just climb aboard one of Kamala’s green shuttle buses at Zion NP. You will be packed in standing room only squeezed behind yellow lines with viruses from Germany, Italy, France, Australia, South Korea, China, etc, etc. They have them from every corner of the globe, sharing their coughs & sneezes. Good thing I learned from my 2022 hunt to combo my wife & family stuff AFTER my hunts. Was 100% healthy while at the Pauns and as a result had a fantastic trip. Can’t say the same about today. Glad I got 8 days off to recuperate. Corrupt commie Kamala, dementia Joe & ugly Nancy Pelosi can all rot in hell where they belong.

Stfu and tell us if you killed a deer or not.

Which National park did you like the best?

They were all three great. I’d say if they had double the green buses, and no standing allowed, Zion was my favorite.

Sorry, but still no time to summarize hunt, as it will take several paragraphs and we are traveling and I’m sick as a dog coughing, sneezing, headache & low energy. Plus I have a full time job. But will get to it when healed up.
 
This might come as a shocker, but those buses were running through Bush, Obama and Trump too.

Your own damn fault for getting on a petri dish bus. Then you come on here and complain about it?

I was looking forward to a hunt recap.

Instead, block. Bye. Good luck
 
Well we know he is alive and enjoyed some time with his wife. Let’s give him time to heal up and get back to us. I have enjoyed him taking us along for the ride on his hunt, he didn’t have to. I will read the update on his hunt when he posts it. In the mean time I think I’ll enjoy my time on the upcoming muzzleloader hunt, thanks Zim!

So I am guessing this is a NO on killing a buck, huh?

Hope the experience was everything you wanted it to be.

Yeah the buses can be a drag if you don’t catch the morning buses. If you ever get the chance check Bryce and Zion in winter the colors of the rock really pop then. Rest well.
 
Allow me to write the post hunt summary.

I never met Zim and don’t know anything about him outside of this thread. Also, I have never set foot on the paunsagaunt.

Here is what happened;

As many people on here warned, as the hunt wore on, the good bucks got fewer and more wary. The Ghost blind referred to has some interesting features but some serious flaws also. The primary flaw being that the top of it is rounded. Sagebrush and most other flora are NOT rounded at the top. Therefore no self respecting mature buck is going to hang around that blind within forty yards without being on high alert and jumping the string leaving the poor archer’s arrow three feet behind the mark.

Zim’s biggest mistake was thinking he could better the buck that was well outside its ears and thought to be well over 30” wide. Whether it was a 2x3 or whatever else.

Anyone with this tag would have done very well indeed to tag a 180 net buck and probably 180 gross as well.

My prediction is Zim actually did wound a nice buck but because the bow and arrow is an inferior weapon it went unrecovered or he never drew blood on a deer at all.

Anyone else care to provide their own post hunt summary? It could be a long time before we here Zim’s.
 
I don’t have a summary of his hunt but have a question on how might a NR hunt this beautiful sandstone pinyon country? For deer or elk, Not specifically this unit but is there a unit similar with a chance to hunt? Feel free to pm me, genuine question.

I would bet you're pretty spot on, a wounded buck or someone else screwed his hunt up and he never shot at anything. If he would have killed a big buck we'd have seen it by now. So he either didn't kill a buck or he killed one of the many 190" bucks that he was passing for so long and it turned into a 160" buck once he got it on the ground. I just find it hard to believe the guy couldn't find ten minutes of time to do a quick write up over the past 3 weeks since the hunt ended.

Yeah the guy has the time to give a recap. He’s not running a billion dollar company and working 18 hour days.
 
Probably shuffling through all the big $/merch swag offers that the ipod Flat Brimmerz are sending his way for some premiere never heard content involving a slightly behind-center punched 150” Buck that went the way of some Kane County Coyote feed.
Best of luck to all those working on there suntan on the General Muzz Deer hunt.
 
While not being the best hunter, especially bow hunter, I have archery hunted the Pauns. a couple of years. I likewise would like my money back. I know the area well enough to know that the bucks above a 160 class are far and few between, unless of course you have rights to private land. I dare to adventure, this is all fluff. It did give me something to do, being retired or just tired. Lets go fishing or just muzzleloader road hunt without a gun. :)

Few and far between? Come on
 
Pretty disappointing. This was a very interesting hunt that I was excited to see the result, whether he harvested or not. I don’t know the background of the OP but I had hopes of seeing a conclusion.

Why waste the time documenting the hunt to not finish it? Afraid that the MM douchers will make fun of you? Man up. Who gives a ****.
 
Having just driven through the area I was excited to read about a hunt on the fabled Pauns... what a letdown. Lots of red flags here and it seems like we all (should) know what happened = high hopes, close calls, then immense frustration and now sour grapes BECAUSE HE DID NOT KILL A BUCK. I'm sure it is someone else's fault...

Would not be hard to post "a few paragraphs" to sum up the hunt, whether the wife is there, u have covid or whatever.... no need to wish he would give us any closure. We know how it ended. Nice tease though while it lasted
 
He didn't kill one and blame everyone and everything else for him being unsuccessful just like every other one of his hunts

Assuming he ever actually drew the tag and didn't just decide to go have a fun camping trip to live through 90% of the experience of the "hunt" for a tag that is nigh impossible to draw.
