Duwane Adams' camp started off a great season up in the Kaibab this year! Duwane says this is the best he's ever seen it in 33 years! This is great news to all the late tag holders that are dreaming of taking huge bucks this year. It was a rough start with a warm first five days but then the weather turned for the best. Once that happened, Duwanes' camp killed four bucks that first cold day after the snow. They started seeing big bucks every day and endured some missed shots, busted stalks, and got to see some huge bucks hit the dirt. All the while having a tremendous time. As you all know, I've been a part of these camps and boy, they know how to find 'em, and have fun doing it! Congrats to you all, guides and hunters alike. I can't wait to see what the lucky trophy hunt tag holders bring this year! Our very own Allen Taylor (coueshunter) drew this tag AGAIN so I'm excited to see what he brings back. I'm sure he'll tag a bruiser and help anyone else in Duwanes' group with a tag too.

Congratulations Erik! Good job getting the truck stuck too! Looks like the clan is out having a good time again. I know you must be pretty proud Stan!

Jaw droppers! WOW! Congrats to your friends on two very fine bucks. Thanks for getting them to share too! Stud bucks.

He's a beauty. Congrats to you and your brother.

I think they are getting a little too used to it already! Ahi nachos....sashimi grade... (Yeah, whatever Amanda)

Third rainbow they've seen since they have arrived today... Representin'!

Gross score RULES!!

Measure as if the palmations are not there. The length measurement is taken to where the tine would meet the main beam normally. Correct me anyone if i am wrong. This is the way I have understood it to be true and have seen many bucks scored this way.

She's just got there and so far is having a great time. They stopped at a fruit stand and stocked up it seems! (dragon-fruit is the red one, also there is guayaba, which is one of my favs) Funny thing happened as they arrived and rode the shuttle from the airport. Paul was wearing a CW.com shirt and someone asks them if they were there hunting or fishing. Turns out, the person asking is a member here and on their honeymoon!

Woah! What a gorgeous buck! I love the dark antlers and droptine! Very nice and Congratulations!

Beautiful and ROUGH country!

The snow definitely makes the deer more visible when glassing. There are certain areas that can be nearly impossible to glass without snow on the ground because its so thick with new growth. The deer love to hide in these areas and do so successfully, that is until snow hits the ground. When you get snow, Duwanes camp always seems to kick into overdrive and they definitely have spots that produce year after year after that snowfall. Pretty cool to watch actually. BTW, that third buck grosses 206", great buck! I also want to wish Allen success and hope he tags a stud.

Ty, Good for you for not only donating your tag, but helping Mary connect on her deer! Much congratulations Mary! Thanks for all you do for our youth Ty. You definitely walk softly and carry a big stick. I like that character in a person.

Love to see you guys out having so much fun together. Hope she's a good archery shot!

Congratulations to you all on a successful trip. Even though no tags were filled, I know you ATE good!

Very nice looking two point. I hear ya on the firefighter buddies. I don't know how they do it but they are some hiking MACHINES!

That's a crazy awesome buck! Congrats to your uncle!

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us. I really like how people are posting up their hunts even though no buck/s were taken. It's only a matter of time before things come together.

That's AZ sheep season!

Pretty buck. Congratulations and thanks for sharing him with us.

that's a pretty neat set up right there. Angies mount needs to have a foot up in the air or somethin'

Makin' memories is right! All smiles. Congrats on the success.

Wow. Just Wow.

Matthewp45 was telling me about this last March or so. Actually, he had an idea which I thought was pretty cool. Hopefully he'll chime in and let us in on what he was thinking.

Woah! Jaw dropping buck right there! Congrats!
