Southern Utah Mule deer hunts

Hello all, I have hunted NE Utah my whole life and this year we thought we would try something new and hunt southern Utah unfortunately not the Paunsaugunt, but around the Panguitch preferable or any place on around that area. I really don't know to go. if some one would offer any advice as where to go around that area I would great I would love to start scouting and getting to know the area as much as I can before opening day!


thanks,

Greygoose

GreyGoose, Welcome to MuleyMadness! :) I'm sure someone on here has some advice for you. I've been applying for the southern area for deer and hope to draw in the next year or two. I'd be interested in the answer to your question too.

I normally would'nt through out info. like this but this post won't get too many hits. No offence Brett. I hope it changes soon for ya. Anyway, the East Zion deer herd has the best buck to doe ratio in the region right now. In Oct. you will want to hunt south of highway 9 and pray for snow in the high country and the hunting can be great. This area is south of Panguitch about 30-50 miles. West border of Paunsaugunt.

There are some good bucks around the Panguitch area, scouting is key. Area called Red Desert is your best option there. Just south of Panguitch use to have some great muley hunting also, but not anymore. Just so you know this area is littered with TONS of hunters.

This is a buck I took on Cedar Mtn., a few miles south of Panguitch a few years ago. Unfortunately the area I took in him is now awful for hunting.

Accually i was just down in panguich just yesterday! Im not sure if there are lots of hunters down there but i know that there are big deer! you can go down by marysville and junction and i know there are big deer down there! my family has killed deer down there before! one my dad killed was about a 27 incher but there are 30+ deer! we have found deer sheds all over down there! lots of old and fresh sheds! one my brother found was a nice 3 point that would of been 30+inches and that shed is about 3 or 4 years old which means that the buck will probably be about 35+ inches now!
