My brother has a tag for the Any weapon Pausaugunt tag. We hunted last weekend and didn't see a single deer opening day.
The night before the hunt started we saw 40 bucks. We can't find them in the day time. It's so fustrating. We don't know what direction they are heading after night time. Does anyone know of areas where the deer head to after night? Everyone says the deer are still high. We hunted by Tropic Resevior and down low by Cannonville. We talked to a bunch of people who weren't finding the deer too. Seems so wierd not to see a single deer on the Pausaugunt. We are giving it our last shot and heading back out this weekend. Any help would be great! My brother has been puting in for this tag for 8 years.

The "Paunsy" is not a easy hunt by any means, and it's nothing like the good ole days. I had the tag back in 2002 and missed one good buck, ended up taking a a 25-26" 4-point. Certainly not what I was after.
The hunt should slowly improve with the reduction in tags. I've seen some good bucks this year out there. I've been there every year since I was probably 6-8 years old. Use to be there every summer, all summer.
I talked to a local from Hatch, Utah the night before the hunt and he was still not sure where he was going. Hadn't seen much himself and crud he lives there.
There is good and big bucks up Tropic area, where at did you see 40 bucks the night before the hunt?
I'll be honest your post is a bit confusing, if you saw 40 the night before then they are still there. But they definitley move (some quite a distance) at night.
Drop me a line if you'd like, not sure I can help to much. But maybe?
Good luck!
