AZkiller Report post Posted July 5, 2019 It's official! Tag #23. I had 2 points. Forced the draw on this tag last year and struck out. God gave me a chance at redemption. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted July 6, 2019 How was that hunt? I’ve been eyeing it for a while. I’m guessing it’s just walking around in the timber hoping to walk up on one? Are the leaves off the trees so it’s better visibility then the oct hunt? Does the pressure from the oct rifle hunt effect them much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations. Two of my friends drew the same hunt. I think they averaged out to 5 points. Fun hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very windy 5 of the days and 3 of them it didn't get out of the 20's. There were no deer on top. I hope this year is the same minus the wind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willyhunts2 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 I had this hunt last year. It was a fun hunt and inside my cooler was warmer than the outside temp most of the hunt. It did not snow last year and we hunted the pines the whole time. I ended up shooting a decent buck and saw plenty of smaller bucks but didnt see any roads. This was my first time hunting the kiabab and it was a blast with only 50 other tag holders, even less this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted July 8, 2019 That is better than decent. Good work. We worked pretty hard last year on the early rifle hunt in 12AE. I got a less decent buck than you did opening morning (still a decent 4x4), and my buddy ended up working a lot of miles and hills to end up taking a small forky off a main road. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
