trophyhntr Report post Posted November 3, 2005 megahunter6969 That is one heck of a buck. Awesome job! We were up there and could not "the spot" holding the big buck. We scouted two weeks before the opener and they had some control burns near the area that we hunted. We saw some big bucks during that scout but did not find anthing during the hunt. It was a tough hunt. We saw small forks and a few small 3x's but nothing like the pig your brother shot. What elevation did you find them at? Did you still hunt or glass? Congrats again.

megahunter6969 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 Well we were in a higher elevevation, and there were NOT very many deer! None of the Southern Utah deer had started to migrate and none of the Kaibab deer either! We saw a decent number of deer(the local herds) and knew this buck was in the area! We had scouted 6 or 7 times before the hunt and saw several trophy bucks of this class and better, but they turned out to be passing through! We did no still hunting, because the deer were way way to hard to pattern! It was all about the glassing! trophyhntr did u guys have a 12aW,12E,Or 12bW,or 12b tag???

trophyhntr Report post Posted November 3, 2005 megahunter6969, We hunted 12A west, south towards the Nat park boundary. I like to glass mostly so that is what we did. In some of the areas we found the bucks in during our scouting, you could not glass very far. We hunted at about 7500 feet of elevation. We tried the lower stuff during one scouting trip and one day of hunting but didn't find anything. They had not moved into the lower stuff which makes the glassing easier. We had to work so we couldn't the entire hunt. Any tips you can through my way would help for next time or for this weekend becasue we are going back up for the Saturday and Sunday hunt. By the way, I did see a buffalo in the back of a truck opening moring. He said he got from the West side and I talked to forestry service about it and he said he saw some on the westside that same morning. That was pretty cool.
