Pahvant Late Elk

I was lucky enough to draw for the late elk hunt on Pahvant. Did anyone hunt this unit last year? What should I expect? Any information provided is appreciated.

There are some graet bulls on that unit. It doesn't hurt to go down and look around during the summer to get a feel of what caliber of bulls you will be hunting for. The thing that can be tricky is finding them in November. I have a friend that drew that tag the first year that it was offered and he spent the whole summer watching them and following them.

When he went back to hunt them they had moved out of the higher country and it took him three day to find elk again. Even after he found them they weren't the size of bulls that he wanted so he kept looking. On the last day he found a bull that he liked and took the shot. Wouldn't you know it he missed and that was the end of his hunt.

I guess long story short while scouting them out during the summer talk to people down there and try to find out where they go when they move down to the lower elevations.

Wished that I knew the answer to that one myself.

Good Luck. :)

Thanks for the info nut. I plan to spend a lot of time this summer. My biggest worry is just what you mentioned regarding the elk migration in November. Can you tell me where your buddy finally located the elk during his hunt?

Thanks for the congrats everyone.

If I remember right he said that he was hunting on the hills between Meadow and Kanosh somewhere. I think that it would be a good idea to talk to some people over on the Richfeild side of the unit also. My brother lives on the Fillmore side and we see bulls when we are out bumming around during the fall but not like we see during the summer. They have to go somewhere and if you can find out where you will have an awesome hunt.

gloomis - get me your email address and I will send you all the information you need. You should kill a great bull with that tag. The only problem isn't finding the big bulls, it's finding a big bull that isn't all busted up. I don't mind telling you the pauhvant secrets. I used to do a lot of hunting down there. It has become quite a circus lately so I moved to greener pastures. You can reach me at 801-787-2125 or email me at jhiatt@awholelottabull.com.

I agree with awholelottabull, on the late hunt the tricky part is finding a good bull that isn't all busted up. The bulls are NOT in the same areas on the late rifle hunt as they are during the rut. Good luck and enjoy it.
