Kaibab Archery Hunt

Recommended Posts

Well I have always wanted to hunt the Kaibab (bucket list) and this year I managed to pull an archery tag. I consider myself to be a pretty good all around hunter and if given the time and the money to drive back and forth I could figure the area out and locate some nice bucks, or the areas that hold some larger deer, but I have neither so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty knowledgeable on the whitetails around Tucson and could help someone out on a hunt around here, units 33, 34A, 35, 32, 36 A, B, C, Not looking for anyone’s honey hole, just some good recommendations on where to start.

Thanks

I think it will be a fun hunt this year. Last year we saw more bucks than we ever have before, not a single one spotted from a truck or a road though. That is the key. My two cents: Get off the roads, hike slow, and glass the opposite hillsides and bottoms when it isn't too thick to do so. There were TONS of guys, more than I have ever seen, hunting from blinds and treestands over salt and water with disappointing results. Just cuz you got a decent buck on a trail cam before season doesn't mean much once the people start thronging the woods in camo. Sure some good ones are killed that way every once in a while, but you are not going to see 40 bucks a weekend sitting on your butt:) There are 700 hunters up there, and all of the accessible water sources are no secret.
