LAST EDITED ON Dec-02-07 AT 00:05AM (MST)[p]I'm back from my Kaibab deer hunt.
The short story is I got a decent buck. Not one of the famous kaibab monsters, but it's the biggest deer I have ever taken, and it was a very satisfying hunt.
I hunted hard for six days, passing on dozens smaller bucks.
On Tuesday afternoon, I hiked into an area that I thought had potential. As soon as I set up the optics, I started seeing does and young bucks. Just before dusk, this buck presented a broadside shot at 400 yds, and I took him. I had to cut him up and pack him ? mile by flashlight.
