Seems like the Kaibab has been a little slow so far for some decent bucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
measafrontier Report post Posted November 10, 2013 My son got his first deer. Thanks to the suggestions on areas to hunt from the members. We hunted hard all day and didn't see our first deer until around 4:00 P.M. when we kicked up a buck and a doe. We hiked and glassed all morning and saw plenty of sign, but no deer. The buck and doe were in thick juniper and disappeared. Finally about 20 minutes later we caught two doe out in the open. My son set up with a 100 yard shot and dropped her where she stood. Great experience! As of Friday night there had only been 9 deer checked in with G&F. When I talked to G&F in the early afternoon there had only been 4. I believe a total of 100 permits for this youth hunt, so G&F said this was extremely low for opening day. Thanks again for the help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Don Martin Report post Posted November 12, 2013 Awesome, think I've been in the area of that first picture. Friend took a 27 inch 4 X 4 toad there a few years ago! I'm going up for the late 12A West hunt and I'll be there looking for Mr. Big! Good job to you both! Don Martin Arizona Wildlife Outfitters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

measafrontier Report post Posted November 18, 2013 Nice Job. Did G&F say how many had checked in on Sat as there had only been 9 all day Fri. It sounds like Sat. was busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
