I realize the Pauns isn't know for it's huge Bull elk but more so for it's huge Muley Bucks.
We have a couple of our Bowsite Family in the Ut. draw for the LE Bow Buck and a few in for the bow Bull .
I did a little get-a-way down there last week and will share some late winter intel of my trip.
I did a combo Tourist gig along with my Photo Scouting trip.
Thanks for taking the time to view.

Along the way I wanted to check out some camping options, with services, including Wi-Fi for those that do hunting~~working 3 week hunt.
These area's give acces via the private ground to a huge WMA (Wildlife Management Area)
Off to the gym by 0500
Thanks
Good luck, Robb
Did you see many deer or was there enough snow to move them to AZ?
SteveO~~ I hit the Park in the early AM to get some great sunrise/snowy HooDoo pix. So I didn't get thru hiking and photo's until 1000-ish. I did see some deer and elk while glassing but nothing like I most prolly would have seen early AM.
Ken ~~ sure thing man. I'm pulling for ya!
Yes, with only 1 non-ressy bow buck tag offered, everyone in the Application Pool is going for that 1 tag..... go for it Steve---------> & Mike.
Nick ~~ there was so much snow that only 25% of the park was availavble to see, they had the great big Oshkosh snowblower rigs clearing the main road just past the Inspiration Point turn off......if your coming out for some Pre-Race date training, bring your snowshoes!! haha
Good luck, Robb
This is actually in the Kaiparowits General bow Buck unit, although it's a 1/2 mile to the Paungs Boundary.
I had a real good chit-chat with the Park Ranger and he doesn't even do the Paugns and more, he applies/draws this unit about every other year and gets some dandy Velvet muleys on the General Bow Buck tag.....
I have answered the PM's and I hope todays additions help out.
I'll wrap it up with some This-n-That's in a pinch.
I got's ta go...……….haha
Good luck, Robb
That East side looks like Muley Heaven...
Sounds like a great trip, Thanks for sharing, Robb!
No shed hunting until May 1st...…….
I agree, the East side of the unit sure had Muley buck written all over it.
The west side has so much~~Boo-Coo~~ private ground......
I did not drop down to the south end of the unit around Kanab.
Limited Entry Unit
Bryce Canyon is so large is acreage size, with No Hunting of course, it's a safe haven for deer to grow and mature
The Alton CWMU (Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit) is also 'uge in acreage so with very limited Buck tags offered thru their hunting operation, deer get to mature.
I certainly am not a Mule deer biologist, that's for sure!!
Thanks again for taking the time to view and to comment if ya wanted to--------->

PS~~ next month is Wyo-Moose #23 as a couple of our Bowsite family applied there, 1 with top endish Moose Points......
Reads like 3 Non-ressy bow Buck tags again this year.
1 for the Bonus Point pool and 2 for the regular draw pool
Good luck, Robb
