Panquitch muzzy hunt

[stumpjumper]

Hunted all nine days of the hunt. Was dissapointed in the number of bigger deer we Didn't see. Alot of spikes and forkies, a repeat of 3 years ago. Was hoping the area had improved in that time but we sure didn't see that. The only shootable, bigger than a forkie, was a 3x in the headlights of the quad coming off the mnt. at night and a road kill. No meat in the freezer this year.
As always had alot of fun and the stunning sceanery with all the fall colors was just compensation.

I hear ya theres lots of little bucks. For the first time in the last three years the fawn crop looked much better. Hopefully the winter fairs them well. I really think the freaking massive full moon was not a help. The better bucks I found were bedded before light. Ive still got the rifle and fingers crossed to run into a good one.

I agree that this unit is packed with yearling bucks. I only saw one small 3x3 on my archery hunt after five days of hunting. I know of a few monsters that were taken in the muzzle loader, but they have been watching those bucks all summer. I know the yearlings got slayed during the muzz hunt and I expect the rifle hunters will get frustrated and take even more yearling bucks off the mountain. The best thing for that unit would be no snow during the rifle hunt and that a few people decided not to fill their tags.

I put this amazing video together after my archery hunt.
