Someone must've turned in their permit because I received a call from DWR that my name came up for an alternate LE Bull Muzzleloader hunt in the Paunsaugunt. With only 3 points, I felt this was a great opportunity. I’ve read that Paunsaugunt has a very low population of elk, but I’m still very excited at the opportunity to hunt some beautiful countryside and will do my best to turn this challenge into an opportunity. An outfitter isn’t in the budget, so planning to do this hunt DIY on public land. My brother-in-law has kindly offered to come along, and we’ll be doing several scouting trips to the area before the season begins on 9/26. We plan to start looking on top around Tropic Reservoir, but wondered if anyone more familiar with the area might be willing to share any local knowledge of where they’ve encountered elk in the past? Not looking for exact GPS coordinates, just any general information of what folks have been seeing would be very much appreciated. If we can be of any assistance to other hunters who’ll be in the area around that time, please let me know. If you’d rather send a PM, that works too. Thank you!
