I heard a rumor the other day that they are going to do a controled burn on the pauns. around cougar canyon. has any one else heard about this. I heard it will be mid september right in the middle of the elk hunt. if any one knows some info it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

ya know they will start one and it will get away from them and then will watch some of the best hunting habitat burn up. but hey these idiots know what needs to be done right!!!!!

I agree turkey track!
How many "control burns" and gotten "out of control" in the past???
This is not a year to be playing with fire, no matter who you are or how "controlled" it is!! :dumb

They already did one control burn earlier this spring on the Paunsaugunt, never heard of this one though? Surely not during the hunt like that.

I wouldn't worry too much about a fire "ruining" the elk hunt on the Pauns'

We had the lighting caused one last year that was right on the state line and it was a pretty good spot. I saw a number of deer in and around it.

I haven't heard about a control burn though.

Thanks for all your comments, i really hope they dont do a burn there. my dad shot a nice bull there last year and my uncle drew the tag this year and i would really like to get him a nice bull this year.
