Kaibab Archery

Recommended Posts

Be prepared for everything. The Kaibab Plateau is well over 8,000 feet in elevation. It could snow a few feet or be super hot and dry. Portable propane tent heaters will not work at that elevation, because of lack of oxygen in the air. You'll need a chainsaw if you want to use a camp stove to heat a tent and to clear roads from down fall timber after storms.

I used a couple buddy heatersblast year up there on the early and late hunts, seemed to work fine.

 

During the archery hunt last year up there while i was poking around it rained quite a bit and was colder than the early hunts i thought. But most years its drier and warm.

Lodge is closed during the start of the late hunt. You have any recommendations for a good place to get out of the cold during that week?
