codyhuntsaz Report post Posted July 17, 2010 This is the first year that i have put in for this tag. I drew it as my 2nd choice. I havent hunted up there in about 12 years. Has anyone had this tag in the last few years, how was it? I remember that there were always a lot of road hunters and BIG bucks. Im sure that there are still a lot of road hunters just not so sure about the big bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mulie hunter Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Theres no shortage of big bucks up there. I have been archery hunting it since 2005, unfortunately I didn't draw the tag, this year! Congrats thats a great tag! If you want a big boy you gotta pass up the young bucks, lots of them up there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjmhunter Report post Posted July 24, 2010 I drew the tag this year too!!!!!!!!!! My wife and dad also drew it with me. It was also my second choice with the archery Strip being #1. I told myself 3 years ago when they turned it into a draw, that I would wait for the 3rd year. I figuered with the decrease in hunters it would allow more bucks to put some age on. Talking with friends that have hunted it the last few years, I really didn't need to wait for the 3rd year. They have done exceptionally well. I was a bit hesitant this year though, with the full moon being on the 20th. I put in anyway and drew it. I will be hunting the first few days going home then going back up the following weekend and hunting for 9 days before having to drive around the ditch to get ready for the archery elk hunts. May stay a few extra days if I haven't filled my tag. I am extremely excited and cannot wait for this hunt!!!!!!!!!!!! The last time I hunted it was when they moved the dates to run concurrent with the archery elk hunts. I have lost sleep searching the net for pictures of velvety Kaibab bucks.

BOHNTR Report post Posted August 2, 2010 What does he score? how wide is he? Details... He looks HUGE Actually, it's just a good photograph. He was a little over 31" wide and grossed 197" and some change and officially netted 191 2/8" B&C. Just a beautiful typical 5x5 (including G1's-eyeguards).
