The strip is traditionally the 13 units, while Kaibab is unit 12. I know of one hunter who shot a cow elk on a depredation tag opening weekend in Kaibab.

I'd say those are much better than simply good cam pics, those are awesome! Keep them coming as stated, and thanks for sharing.

I've scratched my name into the base of a few of mine, that way I can later prove that they are mine if the situation arises. I also like the name thing, because if another theif steals it they'll have a hard time explaining to someone else who the person is with their name on the cam!

Great buck again Blake! Its about time you finally posted it over here!

Great post, I don't own a cuddeback, but please leave my moultrie cams alone! I'm no expert on the law, but I believe that if you find something worth more than $100 dollars and you want to keep it you are required to turn it in to the police departement (like lost and found) and wait for someone to be able to collect their lost property. There is a waiting period, and after that if it goes unclaimed they will return it to the finder? I might be wrong on this, but the way I understand it you can't take anyting that you find (even cash) worth more than a specific amount, no matter where its found, public land or not. If the owner can prove that the item is theirs, and you don't turn it in, then you can be prosecuted for stealing.

Headache, were the sage bucks on the west side? I've had shot opportunities on 3 spikes, 2 forks within 35 yards and I just keep passing waiting for an older buck. I've only seen two 4 pointers, and a few 3 pointers but I just can't get a shot opportunity on them, something always goes wrong. Unfortunately, a guy made a bad shot on a buck in one of my favorite spots, so him and his buddy spent two days buggering up the area searching for blood and the buck. I would have done the same and it needed to be done, but it just sucks because they ran off the bachelor heard of nice bucks we were hunting. I'll be up for 5 more days trying this weekend, so I'm still optimistic.

Great story, beautiful pictures, and an awesome ram! Congratulations on your trophy. Wow, I really enjoyed this post, thanks for sharing.

Very nice buck indeed! I love the width and nubs. Congrats on a beautiful archery trophy, and thanks for sharing!

Good God! Not too far off the world record, what a freak of nature! That thing is amazing.

Congrats to the hunter on a trophy bull, and to the Mullins team on yet another outstanding hunt. You guys are unreal, thanks for sharing such a unique experience with all of us.

Wow, an amazing animal. Congrats to your wife and her monster buck, what a trophy! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on a stud of a buck! Thanks for sharing.

They're checking results on the phone, and still going through the apps. I drew a leftover Kaibab archery tag!

My tag arrived in the mail yesterday, in case anyone was wondering when they're showing up.

Incredible bull, congrats to the Mullins Team once again. I don't know how I'd be able to pass up a bull like that, nerves of steel is definitely right on the money. Thanks for sharing the pics so quickly with us Jim, and to your brother for helping the super raffle tag winner take such a deserving bull for the tag.

Not drawn for anything again! OTC archery deer, bear, and turkey here I come!

Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing yet another set of monster coues sheds, I think we all want a find like those one day. Oh, and the title sure does describe the pics!

I put in for one of them 2nd choice, but not Kaibab! Hoping I draw.

You guys see this one for sale? buck

I also wish they would make it mandatory to report harvest information, but the above quote is the primary reason why I still send mine in and will continue to do so. I want them to have the most accurate information they can.

Last time I checked, their best two guys who do most of the tuning are only working two days a week. I forgot their names, but both are excellent at tuning. Ask who is doing the work, and ask for their best tuner and it will shoot bullet holes when you get it back (unless you have wrist torque during release).

Nice fish and great pics! We've gone out last year and this year a few times to Pleasant and loaded up on the stripers, its great. We've also done the overnight fish, with crappie lights and really killed the stripers and whites that way too. I was told they want you to keep all the stripers too, even the small ones since they are really going after the shad. Tony's definitely right about knowing how to read the fish finder. We used to do it every year at Powell as well, but now its more like every other year up that I find time to make it up there.

I have the Harris 9-13" swivel model and use it almost exactly the same as CouesSniper. I've use it for years now and love it, highly recommended and very accurate.

I think the draw was needed in most of these units to reduce hunting pressure and increase the quality of the hunt. But I think they also need to further increase the heard for quality in these units now that there is a draw. Many of us archers have just rolled over saying it was the best thing, but the next step now needs to be made, and this was why I didn't approve of it in the first place. No proper future planning, just simple-minded management with short-term goals. I don't think it will affect the age class of the deer much, since once the buck population goes up, they will just issue more rifle tags. The buck:doe ratio is managed to be one of the lowest in the country, and it was approved to decrease it further. If you have to sacrifice your bonus points and draw opporunity at these tags, then they need to manage the whole unit differently, not just the archery season. This applies primarily to the units south of the CO river. It doesn't make much sense to manage quality archery units, that are not managed as such for rifle. I'd personally like to see the buck:doe ratio increase, and to see the rifle tags decrease in some of these units. I'd hate to think that we are only limiting archery hunters, so that just as many deer can be harvested but with a rifle, without increasing the heard.
