Heat Report post Posted September 7, 2011 Back from the Kaibab. I hunted for seven days. I saw more deer and more bucks than I have in two previous trips combined, but still no buck. I didn't have any shot opportunities. I saw the biggest mule deer I've ever seen in my life, problem is he was just a couple hundred yards past the Chevron at Jacob's Lake right off the side of the road. What a crazy sight. I also saw a buck on a tank that was just laying there as we drove by. Stopped to check him out and saw that he was hit. We knew there were some guys hunting near us that had hit a buck the night before, so I stayed and watched the buck and my neighbor went to get the hunter who hit the buck the night before. I kept an eye on the deer and waved them in when they returned, but unfortunately the deer moved again and the guy couldn't get another shot. Kinda funny cause at first I was thinking it was a Game and Fish Decoy or something! I saw plenty of deer but they mostly saw me first and I couldn't get close enough for a good shot. I got close to a group of 4 or 5 decent bucks one morning, but they busted me in the thick aspen regrowth. They were within 40 or 50 yards, but got out of there too fast for a good shot. I also sat water for like 5 nights and had does come in and drink on two of those nights but no bucks came in while I was there. Oh well, I learned a ton and will be back next year again for sure if the draw does me right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
