Vernon hunt

[Wannabehunter]

Drew a Vernon Muzzel tag, and was wondering if anyone had any experience out there that that would be willing to share, some good spots to start scouting would be much appreciated

Don’t over look the valley floor and cedar pockets

100% where I would spend time also. We killed two out of Dutch last year. A solid 180 buck was killed opener of muzzy at the bottom of Dutch in the flats.

Haha I drove right past that 180" buck opening morning at at the bottom of Dutch didn't even see it, I was headed up a little higher to chase one I'd been watching and never seen it so we went up harker and killed a 170" buck on the road in the bottom of harker.

There will be a lot of people up harker. Just be aware of that. Sheeprocks are a good area too

Very few people hunt the Simpsons and there are a few good ones over there every year.

I agree 100% Simpsons just dont have the numbers of deer! We always have had bad luck finding them during the hunt on the simpsons.

I also agree. Far less deer, but much more secluded hunt. Might be worth a scout.

Saw the biggest buck I've ever seen on the hoof out there. Course that was 15 years ago. Vernon unit gets the crap poached out of it. Used to be some giants out there

I always love to see comments like this ? you really believe that will all the recreational traffic that unit sees daily, deer are getting poached out there are a rate like that? Really?

I was once a heavily poached area. Not so much anymore. It was hurt a lot by poachers back then and it has its affects on the deer to this day

I found 6 deer with their heads cut off in 2 days gathering cows. I have a set of sheds off what would have been the new state record had it not been killed illigally. Ya I know it gets poached bad. It's not a guess

If I had the tag, I pound the lower thick cedars on pinon. Now day's your not going to get away from everyone no matter where you go. Especially a more accessible unit like Vernon. They don't kill every big buck on every unit every year. Big bucks are smart. They will watch you walk right past or drive without flicking an ear if they don't think you see them

Maybe the cattle pushers are shooting them? They sure do love to complain about the deer eating their feed for the cattle. Less competition = more feed for cows. Big bucks do eat more than little bucks ?

$&%#+=€£!!!!! No logic there. Why would a livestock producer cut the heads off.

Well maybe you're right but I know they don't hate the money they get for them tags. And the pushers don't get it the cowboys don't get it just the landowner

I know for me personally all the landowners I didn't know out there they don't mind seeing big bucks

 

[Giddyup]

Maybe that's because big bucks equals more money for the tag I don't know but I know none of them complain when they do see a big buck

I would be willing to bet some of those remote Tooele and you have county residents live off of venison on a regular basis
