I have spent alot of time hunting the Kiabab and found that it doesn't matter what time you go there will always be alot of people hunting,pick you're poison and go for it, there is alot of deer and quite a few nick bucks up there, Good luck ,Happy hunting, I am only glad I won't see you this year... since i will be bull elk hunting instead.

Hey DBArcher, I use the binos that you are asking about, they are a great pair of glasses they are extremely clear and draw in alot of light during low light conditions because of the 80mm lens, the only setback is that they are quite large and heavy, I pack them and a bogen tripod and use a small tripod chair, my pack is on the heavy side but when i sit to glass ,i can sit there for quite a while without getting tired or uncomfortable and i think thats half the battle when you want to spot and stalk.

hey coosefan, I have a nephew that does the skulls, he doesn't use beetles but he does a great job of boiling and bleaching, the skulls come out great, he has had alot of practice doing them for all of our freinds and family and doesn't charge a whole lot of cash, if youre interested I can send some pics.

I have had a few wounded animals double back on the same trail for about 50 to 75 yards before and then turn off the trail in another direction it seems like the blood trail just ends, so i followed it back and found the trail leading off in another direction,just something to think about.

I don't know the unit that youre jr hunters have been drawn for but i would have also say to look for water. I have been hunting 37-b and have seen two herds both of which were staying close to water, just havn't been able to get close enough for a shot. the wind has been bad, so they have winded me on three different tries to get a shot.

I have also been building my own arrows for quite a while,I use a jo-jan mutifletch and have had very good results with it. It will do a straight fletch to a 15 degree right helical and is very easy to use. Just remember to clean everything very well before setting the veins or feathers to shaft, I also try to dry run a shaft to make sure its what i want before setting them with glue. if you have any tools around the house a die grinder with a cutoff wheel works well to cut carbon shafts, just remember to use a dust mask and safety glasses.
