I can't add much more than what has already been posted about the Kaibab but I can attest to it being a magical place. My dad and I have been hunting the Bab for over 19years. In that time we have rarely missed a hunting season on the plateau. We have built a strong relationship between ourselves and the people who call Jacob their home. It's like no place on earth. The feeling you get when you start the climb up 89A to the feeling you get when it's time to pack up and go home, it's better than any Christmas morning I've ever had. There have been years were we have lost count on the number of bucks and does we have seen and there have been years when we have gone home without seeing hardly a buck. All I know is that no matter what, when hunting season starts there is nothing else I can think about. Can't wait to see you all up there at the dinner counter at Jacob enjoying a "Grand Bull" sandwich and swapping stories. Good luck and post your success when it's over.
I have attached a few bucks we taken from the plateau over the years. I could write a book on each. BOHUNTR has already described perfectly the best strategy. Find an area and stick to it. The number of hunters can be tough to deal with but it can also keep the deer moving. The first buck I took from the kaibab was pushed into me by another hunter from our group. I arrowed that buck from 40 yards while at a slow trot with my recurve. One thing I would say about the Game and Fish decision to turn the archery hunt into a draw, is that it places dedicated archery hunters in the forest with you. Can't complain about that. And don't forget your turkey tag i've taken two turkeys and one Bluegrouse during the archery deer hunt. It doesn't get much better than this...
