TexAz Report post Posted September 27, 2010 I have been scouting twice in the past three weeks and I have seen almost three times more bucks than does. I have not been in the Kaibab in a few years but have always seen a lot of does and I am not finding nearly as many as I expected. I have been scouting 8 - 9,000 ft elevation and am beginning to wonder if the does have moved to lower elevations. Any suggestions for what elevation would be best for does during the October 8 - 11 time period? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted September 27, 2010 I'll be up there with my daughter next weekend! I've done several youth hunts with my kids over the years, but lately the hunt has been in early Nov. This year is obviously a bit earlier..... That being said, we'll likely focus a bit lower then the 8000-9000 foot level. We'll likely start down more in the 'transition' type of habitat (Ponderosa, oak, etc...). I've got some friends heading-up with their kids for fall turkeys this weekend! I'll try to post a report of what they find in their travels..... Good luck up there! It's a great hunt for the kids! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexAz Report post Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks for the response. It was full moon this past weekend and I didn't see a deer until almost 7:30 so that may be part of the reason I did not see more deer. I did not expect the deer to begin the migration and have not spent any time in the transition area. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
