Where to Find Pronghorn in Unit Mt Dutton/paunsaugunt
UDWR's material on unit Mt Dutton/paunsaugunt stops at the boundary — there is no agency account of where its pronghorn live.

What bounds unit Mt Dutton/paunsaugunt
UDWR has unit Mt Dutton/paunsaugunt Boundary begins at US-89 and SR-62; south on US-89 to US-89A in Kanab; south on US-89A to the Utah-Arizona state line; east on this state line to the Paria River; north along this river to SR-12; west on SR-12 to the Widtsoe-Antimony road; north on this road to SR-22; north on SR-22 to SR-62; west on SR-62 to US-89. Read it as a frame, not as a hint about animals. What it does give you is the way in: the rivers and highways you cross, and the divides that decide which drainage you end up in.
High ground inside the line: Mount Dutton, Mount Pierson and Adams Head
Named high points inside the unit include Mount Dutton at 11,015 feet, Mount Pierson at 10,635 feet, Adams Head at 10,418 feet, Cottonwood Peak at 10,322 feet and Hancock Peak at 9,944 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn stay on the open rolling ground and leave the timber alone.
Holding ground: Judd Pasture, Paunsaugunt Plateau and Sevier Plateau
Below them sit Judd Pasture at 9,159 feet, Paunsaugunt Plateau at 9,043 feet, Sevier Plateau at 8,875 feet, Sand Pass at 8,792 feet and Sand Flat at 8,778 feet. Those are the basins, parks and bottoms this unit has, and they are what you glass into from above. Pick the one with the least road on its upwind side.
Water: Hog Canyon Spring, Ram Spring and Fuller Spring
Named sources include Hog Canyon Spring, Ram Spring, Fuller Spring, Spaniard Spring, Dry Spring and First Point Spring. Nothing in the data says which of them run in autumn, so a scouting trip earns its fuel.
Before you apply: who owns this unit
A UDWR permit does not authorise hunting on Native American trust lands, on a CWMU without that CWMU's own permit, or on National Park land, and written permission is required to hunt private land. Our ownership read for this unit is approximate — it comes out as Private / Other 100%, so treat it as a starting point and check a current land-status layer before you plan a route. The unit runs from 5,321 feet to 9,214 feet, averaging 7,231 — enough relief to separate summer range from winter range.
