MOWhitail Report post Posted October 19, 2014 Coming from Washington state with my 16 year old son for his first Mule Deer hunt, in 12AW. I am so excited for this trip I can't stand it. He is a Junior this year, and I have just a couple more years before he leaves the house for school and I have to learn to take more and more of a back seat in his life. So I am really going to enjoy this. I was going to do this hunt DIY, but my wife knew how important it was to us both and insisted we go with Duwane Adams... Can't believe the Lord blessed me with such an incredible wife and mom to my kids... so AZ here we come! Any other parent/kid combos headed to the Kiabab next week?

Devil Diver Down Report post Posted October 20, 2014 I'm the young half of a father/son combo, also in 12AW, but I'm over 40. Probably not what you meant, lol. We're going DIY and totally whiffed on scouting because of some medical conditions that popped up, but we're ratcheting down our expectations on size of bucks and ratcheting up expectations on a great hunt together. Great hunts to you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOWhitail Report post Posted October 21, 2014 I'd love nothing more than to hear the stories of all these great hunts, and see some great pics in about 2 weeks! Sounds like a great crew going up that way. I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Was up until 11:00PM last night packing. Most of the trailer is packed and ready to go with the camping supplies. 95% of the clothing is packed and ready to throw in the truck. 80% of the groceries are in the tote and ready to go, just need to buy the fruit and veggies mainly. Truck has new shocks, new wiper blades, oil change, and washed. Rifles are all in the cases, pack is stocked and ready to go at a moments notice, and all hunting accessories are ready to go. All optics have been cleaned and ready to go. Just need to finish the groceries, load the ice chests, and throw the expensive stuff in the truck. Should take about an hour or two to be ready to hit the road after the groceries are bought!!! Today and tomorrow are going to SUCK at work!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
