The regs state first come, simple if I get there first and there is a tree stand up or an empty blind of natural materials I will not get in the stand but I will set on the water hole, in the ground blind or one of my own. I was there first. simple

Great job, excellent buck

Congrats to the boys! now that is a way you learn how to hunt. none of this road hunting, just a lot of honest work and it all pays off.

Mulie hunter and myself took our kids and several others with us to the rim for their youth hunt and as he stated 3 out of 4 taged. This is my sons second deer in three years. We have been telling the kids how great the north rim is and they said it is better than what we said, and I guess words can't tell it all. I want to thank those that put on the youth camp, our kids really enjoyed it as did we. A lot of work went into it and there seemed to be a great turn out.

I walked up on them at about mid morning, they were so sound asleep it took them a little while to realize i was there taking pictures, Mulie hunter and I have hunted some here but rarely see pigs.

He is a nice looking young man

Been there done that, went under the belly and out the other side, how does a wire no bigger than an 1/8 inch get in the way

azonie welcome to the site, sorry about the way a few responded to your request. If I knew something about that unit I would help you out, but unfortunately I don't. I don't post alot here but I follow the forum all the time and the info here is very helpful so don't give up on us yet.

I wear camo whenever I'm hunting, I don't really think its needed during rifle season but Im a believer in it during bow season. It looks cleaner longer and I have had to fade into the desert to hide from UDAs and other not so nice folks in the past.

Well I got the privilege of being close by when mulie hunter got his buck.......well lets say I was at the truck keeping it company. With my asthma it is hard for me to keep up with him. I did hear the shot and when there wasn't a second I figured he got one. Mulie hunter is a great hunting partner to have. I finally hiked up to the ridge he shot it from and between breaths yelled support.......like are you sure you hit it. He did a great job and is always a pleasure to hunt with.

Congrats, very nice buck

Well I have put it off and put it off telling of my hunt on the Kiabab this year but here it goes. Mulie hunter and I went up on Sept 22nd and got there just in time for the rain. It rained the rest of the day and most of the night so we didn't get to hunt that day. We met up with some friends and camped/hunted with them with no success untill the Monday evening when one of our friends took a spike(12" to 14" long) off a tree stand at about 30yds. They had to leave the next day so at least one out of the two went home with something. Mulie hunter and I kept at it, working the water holes. They all seemed to come in after dark....I wonder why?. We had a close friend that his son was in the hospital with liver failure so we decide to go home early to pray for him. Our last time to hunt was Wed evening, after taking a scenic drive we were heading back to set up on the water hole when I happened to look down an old logging road and catch a glimpse of a meadow. We stopped to take a look and found lots of sign so we said, what the heck lets build blinds and stay here. Wasn't on my blind for more than 20 min before this spike walked in and gave me a shot at 30 yds.....missed like always. It ran towards Mulie hunters blind but stopped about 40 yards from me and then turned and came back to within 25-28 yds. This time the arrow hit its mark. After about a ten second dash through the forest it ran straight at me and died about 20 yds from me.

Now thats funny!

Very nice job, theres something about building it yourself.
