Chef Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Duwane Adams' camp started off a great season up in the Kaibab this year! Duwane says this is the best he's ever seen it in 33 years! This is great news to all the late tag holders that are dreaming of taking huge bucks this year. It was a rough start with a warm first five days but then the weather turned for the best. Once that happened, Duwanes' camp killed four bucks that first cold day after the snow. They started seeing big bucks every day and endured some missed shots, busted stalks, and got to see some huge bucks hit the dirt. All the while having a tremendous time. As you all know, I've been a part of these camps and boy, they know how to find 'em, and have fun doing it! Congrats to you all, guides and hunters alike. I can't wait to see what the lucky trophy hunt tag holders bring this year! Our very own Allen Taylor (coueshunter) drew this tag AGAIN so I'm excited to see what he brings back. I'm sure he'll tag a bruiser and help anyone else in Duwanes' group with a tag too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Is it that the weather got the bucks moving, or that the snow made them more visible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Is it that the weather got the bucks moving, or that the snow made them more visible? The snow definitely makes the deer more visible when glassing. There are certain areas that can be nearly impossible to glass without snow on the ground because its so thick with new growth. The deer love to hide in these areas and do so successfully, that is until snow hits the ground. When you get snow, Duwanes camp always seems to kick into overdrive and they definitely have spots that produce year after year after that snowfall. Pretty cool to watch actually. BTW, that third buck grosses 206", great buck! I also want to wish Allen success and hope he tags a stud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
