Okay that makes me feel better! I will just have to check tomorrow!

Oh geez this makes me nervous! I swear if I don't get that tag!

Okay so I have used a .234 with standard lead bullets for mule deer before and they were put down quickly at shots from 200 yards However I see that shots out in the kiabab and the deer are much bigger caliber than down here in the valley. I have only shot fork and horns. Will a .243 work with shots up to 250 or 300 yards work? I also want to use the "non-lead" bullets due to the concerns up north with lead. Any bullet preference for .243? Or should I save 500ish and buy a new gun and scope? Thank you!

Sounds good! Thanks!

I put my dad and little brother in for the same hunt number as that one tag. It was their 1 and only pick and they still got the tag numbers 156 and 157 out of like 300 or 400! They each had a point too! Crazy stuff this year!

Gotcha! I'll be on the look out for new camo!

Will do! I love rabbit hunting! Are they safe to eat in the summer? I don't wanna waste the animal that i took its life from! Also due to me on a budget does the camo on a rifle hunt really help THAT much or will a grey or dark blue coat work? Because camo is extremely expensive and I cannot find my size in thrift stores (adult mens small). Also for the hunt I am going to borrow someone's quad so I might be able to camp rather than use a hotel every night and drive 30 miles where I would like to go!

I have the late hunt and saw a picture on another forum from last year with a truck in the snow and the guy standing next to it was waist deep! I personally never drove in snow and seeing that kind of scares me. I watch videos and see pictures and I have seen very little or none at all. But does it usually snow heavy up there in late November? I only have a 2WD ford ranger. No lift or anything. Will that be enough to get through the area with ease? Or should I look into 4wd options? Thank you!

Wow! That is awesome! I really hope it goes well for you folks! You both deserve it!

Of course!

Gotcha! I have a lot of stuff tomorrow to do such as work and I dont wanna interrupt your 4th! I can give you a call sunday afternoon! Thank you!

That sounds amazing. I pay cash and deer meat. PM if you can! I am not sure how to start a pm

I have a youth rem model 700. I'm really short so I perfer a shorter gun rather than longer. It's easier for me to hold steadier standing which is how I had to take most my shots

Gotcha! I just can't afford a 4wd. My dad just got one delivered from California yesturday and he will NOT even let me touch it to fix his mirror! So I guess I will have to do 2wd. I will book a hotel on Fredonia and use that as a sleeping pad and if snow looks bad the morning when I wake up at least I'm not stranded I'm the middle of the unit.

Sounds good! Thank you!

For 2wd or 4wd?

Sounds good! I was planning on getting more of an offroad type of tire and maybe a small lift for clearance!

Wow that sounds amazing! I am going to drive up there in about a week and a half! I really wanna get a Boone and Crockett buck! That is a dream!

You know that's not a bad idea. Like a hotel or something?

Wow! Yeah I want to get near kanab creek wilderness! I wanna stay away from the east side! There was a picture on a forum and it was this guy showing his shoulder mount from the same hunt and he showed a picture of snow! I remember when it was raining here at the same time! It snowed at my house even at the desert!

I found these 2 roads! Are these the ones you're talking about?

Like near the 89? From the very top (north) end? I see a road that bee lines towards the south from up there and it is like about 6000 feet elevation

What do you mean by that?

That's what I had to do for my deer! Like I will aim and find myself like trying to breath slowly to stop the shaking. I cant imagine what imma be like with one of those Kiabab bucks!

Gotcha! I have a Nikon range finder. Imma test it at the shooting range tomorrow and see if its accurate at like 200-300 yards! My goal is to be comfortable at 300 but I get so excited when i see any deer i start shaking so 300 is an absolute limit for me!
