Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Will summarize soon. Wife flew out and got my hands chock full Vegas, Big Ditch, Zion, now Bryce. And must visit grandkids & niece in Fort Collins Sun/Mon. Don’t even have 5 minutes free. I’m exhausted. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Blood is boiling due to a real authentic retard tool with a crap tag in his pocket. A pathetic hunter so desperate he sees fit following around an Indiana license plate to find deer. Really??? -

Poll: With 75% of the hunt now over, how many of you would settle for a 180” if one presents a shot? -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Got a shot yesterday morning at a wide 190” but it was 50 yards and he jumped when his buddy saw me draw. I’ve never taken any shot at game from that far, but the M34 has been drilling those w/broadheads consistently. Clean miss. I’d definitely been happy with that buck at this stage. Between my... -

Yesterday evening I set up on the 230’s route, and where I could glass the draw behind that ridge. Saw lots of deer activity back there, including 15 bucks, 6 of which were 180’s. No way the spotters could see them. Will relocate there in the coming evenings. Got ten days left. I may not be as... -

Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
The wind will be right for my Ghost Blind saddle tomorrow morning. Will move there and look for a 190”. I know the 230” doesn’t use that. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Just went from bad to worse. Glassed up a giant 230” monster Saturday evening. Unfortunately, one of the minions also saw him, and called in the cavalry. So the circus is now a traffic jamb of minions. What a system. Not sure if any of these dudes will leave Tuesday with the rest of the Labor... -

I have almost two full weeks. Will be nice once the Labor Day weekend is over with. That should send everyone home. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
It seems this will be the lost three day weekend. Minions everywhere and I mean everywhere. None with tags. Just truck after truck glassing only. However, they picked a good day to start because I was in my blind pre-dawn and there was a 1 mph wind from every direction. I had deer coming in... -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Has my best day of the hunt so far yesterday morning. Decided to give up that road hunting method entirely. Hated it anyway. Found hunting saddles in my Ghost Blind was the best way to go for me. After some software problem delayed my start, set up and and at 8 am had six does and one fork move... -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
I’m curious if he comes back down onto public this evening. We exchanged cell numbers so I’ll know tonight what happened. He’s a real nice buck deep forks. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Had an interesting morning. Set up Ghost Blind in saddle. Had a deer come in silent from behind and snort 20 yards behind me. Startled me! Then later two bucks moved thru but nothing big. But I did nock my 2nd arrow! During my hunt I glassed a nice 190” across the canyon, but no way my Achilles... -

Got closer. Nocked my first arrow. Four 4x4’s crossed road in front of my 4Runner. All decent and in range, but none especially wide. Will sit my Ghost Blind in a saddle tomorrow morning. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
BTW - I failed to update last few days because I went down in a deep canyon and up the other side and really pissed off my left Achilles. It was barkin something awful and I needed to recover. It’s much better today, all stretched out too. So I had two close encounters yesterday but blew... -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Not sure how to estimate mule deer rack width. If a buck has two full ear lengths on both sides when alert & facing me, 7” + head 6” + 7” + 7” + 7” = 34” ? Does that sound right? -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Rain washed out Saturday. Had ten bucks in bow range this evening. Last one a big 2x2 lol. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
That would take all the fun out even if I could afford it. I’m in the game where I am anyway. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
Getting closer. Passed on these two this evening at 30 yards. One had crab claws. The other a 3x3. -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
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...
