HEADACHE Report post Posted October 29, 2007 Spoke to seems like all five thousand hunters up there in 12A-East. There were a billion of them for sure. All told the same story, no bucks, lots of does. . . . I heard the guys across the street in 12A-W dropping the hammer every twenty minutes every day. So I decided that I should not pass up the biggest buck I'd ever seen (with a tag in my pocket) I don't imagine he is very big by Kaibab standards, but he is a brute in my eyes. I popped him in the bottom of a canyon (the only canyon that I found green grass in) he was with four other bucks, all small guys. I hit him with my 7mm Rem Mag at about 200 yards with one of those Copper bullets that were all suppoesed to shoot up there these days. He dropped in his tracks! I can't believe how big his body was. . . 220 lbs! What a hog! They don't get that big down here where I hunt em with my bow! Anyway I am excited to death to show off my first ever Kaibab buck. Yeah he's not the biggest one, but he's in the freezer baby! Thanks for lookin. {clickable pictures} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted October 29, 2007 Congrats on a nice buck. Looks like he has been rubbing on some of those charcoal trees up there. Were many hunters in the Warm Fire burn area, or did it seem most hunted further south of the burn? Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
