CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 19, 2009 Hey All, I had to go up to the Kaibab for a meeting with AGFD to help hammer out a strategy for monitoring the habitat and herd up there. The AZ Deer Association has been pushing for better management up there for awhile now and this workshop was part of that. AGFD invited several biologists from other western states to come out and view the summer and winter range and give their input on population and habitat mgmt. The ADA had several people there as well to provide the sportsmen's perspective. I think it was a productive workshop and I applaud AGFD for working to get interested parties together to work out issues. Anyway, besides the meeting stuff, I was able to get out in the early mornings to look at deer. Sunrise on one of the mornings was a beautiful sight. Temps in the morning were in the mid-40's....NICE!! besides deer I saw some turkeys and a coyote. The next morning the coyote was dead on the side of the road near where I saw it the evening before. The turkey flock had 4 or so hens and a couple different broods of chicks. Lots of does out in the meadows. Some nice bucks as well. These are digiscoped pics, so not the greatest. And another group of bucks: Some scenic pics on the way home: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
