Paunsagunt Archery

[Vanilla]

It's supposed to be very stormy this weekend. Those roads get slick.

Oh man, do they ever!

 

[Tikka]

This one is not wide but is there every morning. I’ll pass tomorrow.

That left turn signal is sure cool though….

 

[Zim]

What ever you decide to to Zim..I'll bet that buck hits the dirt before long..

There were no less than 7 hunters scoping him this morning. One put on an unsuccessful stalk.

Stroke of luck……..

Wet weeds tell no tales. Some claim we stink less during a gully washer……..

Rain makes corn…….. corn makes whiskey……..

 

[Zim]

Just a couple dinks this morning. Five decent bucks in one group feeding between rain storms this evening. But no shooter.

26 archery tags & 4,687 "spotters"....

 

[Vanilla]

And in addition to “spotters,” all the guys randomly driving around not connected to any hunter just hoping to find a giant so they can sell the info to a willing buyer.

God bless America!

 

[Uttaxi1]

Thanks for the updates. I love these threads. Makes my long days in the shop this time of year go by a little faster.

 

[Zim]

Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like a great hunt, good luck!

I can hunt the entire 4 weeks if necessary. So I'm pacing myself and will be patient. I can extend my hunt by working doing computer data entry mid-days in Bryce or Panguitch.

 

[newguy]

these type of threads are the best. Thanks for taking the time to post updates, best of luck to you.

That’s the way to do it. With Starlink what do you need from town, Ac power?

Yes, electric, a table & comfort. My tent doesn’t cut it.

Too foggy to see anything this morning. This evening saw ten bucks but no shooters. This one fed within 30 yards of my truck.

 

[Camper_A1]

Good luck on your hunt. My release would’ve been getting a little itchy on that one.

You guys never been to the paunsagunt have you lol

 

[Mallardsx2]

^^^^Sounds to me like it would be a poacher's Narnia.

A buck like that wouldn't live for 15 minutes where I hunt.

 

[lundellhunting7]

You guys never been to the paunsagunt have you lol

I have! ha ha. But I would shoot a double beam buck any day ha ha

 

[pauns08]

I have! ha ha. But I would shoot a double beam buck any day ha ha

Haha he's a cool buck for sure

 

[Zim]

I’ve already been close to four shooters in one week. Two were 30” wide. I can hunt the full four weeks. No way I was gonna shoot that one in the photo. I got close this morning. Was hiking where I saw the two big ones and crested a hill there was a stud looking at me from 35 yards. Dammit.

 

[CC11]

Get one Zim!

 

[elkassassin]

You're good At 35 Right Zim?

Good Luck!

[cannonball]

As the hunt goes along, the big ones get smarter and smarter and soon they will be in no-man's country. Don't be to picky and wait to long.

Before my health decline, I was a very good elk hunter. Mule deer, not so much. I really suck at this spot & stalking mule deer hunting. Bumped another stud at 40 yards yesterday morning. Four in the same 50 acres over five days. Moved to a more stalkable terrain and glassed another shooter across the canyon, but it was hot out and he came out way too late to try a stalk. Back here this morning same spot. A good start, no minions here!

Keep after it Zim! Need lots of opportunities to get it done with a bow-hope it comes together for you!

 

[Elknut33]

Good luck Zim! Excited to see how your story unfolds.

 

[Zim]

Getting closer. Passed on these two this evening at 30 yards. One had crab claws. The other a 3x3.

 

[Uttaxi1]

Thanks for the updates. Good luck!! Stay positive!!

 

[Muleman1]

Keep the updates coming and good luck !

 

[elkassassin]

You Get Rained Out Down There Zim?

 

[Wapitiwilly]

Zim,
I don't know you but I admire the hell out of you. Keep at it great things will happen.

 

[eyeman]

I keep checking for a big buck pic!

 

[yoteduster]

Wonder if zim got rained out today or just took the day off...

 

[Muleman1]

I’m anticipating his next message

 

[elkassassin]

I Got A Feeling Something Happened!

[lundellhunting7]

I love checking this thread all the time! I hope something is dead!

 

[legacy]

Zim's just toying with our emotions now...

 

[Tikka]

@Zim we know you can’t live without WiFi and civilization for more than 8 hrs. Where’s your update?

If I had that tag I would MAYBE check in with my wife every three days or so, and nobody else would know where I was.
99% of enjoying any hunting or fishing trip is to totally disappear from society while doing it.

 

[elkassassin]

Na!

That's How It Is For A Limited Few!

The Rest Of The World Is Gonna Make It Play By Play Every Day!

I Still Say Something's Up!

Hope You're Doing OK Zim!

I have the same feeling Bobcat.

Something’s up………. Hope I’m wrong.

 

[deadibob]

I haven’t bought an Utah fishing license since 1993, but fish legally every year since!

Same here

 

[Mallardsx2]

Very odd that he has went mia.

Does anyone live close that can run over to his campsite and check on him or does anyone know his cell phone to call or text?

 

[Tikka]

That doesn’t sound good guys, now you have me thinking not so good thoughts… I hope we’re all wrong and the hunting is just that good he can’t break away….

[Don_K]

He texted me Friday eve, still going at it.

 

[Justhunt14]

I live on the unit and been checking in via text, I busted a tire on my truck and currently running my spare so I haven't made it to his camp yet, but I do know where he is camped.
The last time I heard from him was Friday morning, we have had 2 days of non stop rain, then yesterday it was windy all day.
I'll text him, if no response I'll run the wheeler out.

 

[Justhunt14]

Just when I get the wheeler loaded.
He texted me back all is well.
