Red Rabbit Report post Posted November 1, 2004 I had a general rifle tag in southern Utah. Went up and hunted the weekend of Oct 23rd. Got up there on Friday to scout and had about 2' snow around Duck Lake, and saw few tracks. Don't think we could have gotten into the area I hunted two years ago up by Panguitch Lake. So decided to head lower outside of Mt. Carmel Jct. Opening morning I saw only hunters where we cut some big tracks in the mud on Thursday, so went to a new spot. Saturday evening I saw a parade of quads and trucks riding the roads below (guess the snow pushed the hunters lower too), and two does. Sunday morning I saw a doe and fawn. Sunday night, I went to a different glassing hill and saw about 30 deer. A friend shot about a 155" 4x4 buck that he jumped in the cedars. Got to see his stalk through the 15x binos. Right at dusk, I glassed a 4x4 coming round the mountain at 301 yards. One 180 Accubond through the top of the heart had him down in 15 yards. He's a uniform buck that scores 157" This is only my second muley out of 6 hunts for mule deer in 24 years of hunting. Doug/Red Rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clint Report post Posted November 1, 2004 I helped a buddy glass up some couse deer in unit 8 this weekend. Seen some small bucks, no shooters. As we were packing the mules out a nice 3x3 muley ran out so we decided to take it. It was his last day. It will make for some good tamales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted November 4, 2004 Those sandstone mesas sure were pretty to hunt around and made for good glassing spots. Hunters in camp that were there two years ago said they saw a lot more deer this year, probably because of the snow up top. I was glad it rained alot before the hunt, because driving on that sand when it is dry may have lead to a few stuck situations. I saw pics yesterday of a nice nontypical muley taken in unit 27 by a hunter from Flag who backpacked in several miles. Doug/Red Rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
