MuleyMadness Hunting Forums

I'll be heading out in a week to Utah to hunt the Zion unit for general season mule deer. I've received a ton of valuable info from Ryan Hatch, wildlife biologists, and a few hunters who have hunted the area. Does anyone here have any experience with this particular unit? I know there's about a million hunters and a lot of deer - anything else I should know?

Sounds like you have some great info and resources. What else do you want to know is the real question?
It's an awesome place and great hunt, doesn't mean you'll kill a big boy but sure have fun trying.
Weather up on top will help your hunt as LOTS of Panguitch deer migrate off to the Zion Unit before and during your hunt. Keep us posted on your success, those sands sure are fun and tough at the same time. Different hunting, but very cool.

It's been why hot and dry. Expect the deer to be scattered from high to low with most somewhere in between. Find a place in the middle and hang tight. I've got a Zion tag as well but my dad has a Pauns tag so I'll be spending most of my time on the other side of 89.
