Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Made it home safely, after some of the stuff that went down this fall around the country with some hunters not making it home, just making it home is a successful hunt in and of itself. Ended up losing about 2 hours for some phantom road construction on the west side of Albuquerque that had... -

The other guide in camp was the one who was guiding the guy that shot the 198” buck during muzzleloader season that you saw. They didn’t fill his hunters tag this year though. -

Well that’s the sunset on this hunt. We tried really hard and I think I had a great guide and outfitter but we just couldn’t make it happen. Made it all the way down to the edge of Grand Canyon National Park this afternoon and hunted some of the new burned area but didn’t see anything down... -

Guides broke camp down during lunch and we are heading back out right now. I’m not sure if we will head out and get down the road a bit tonight or just do the 12 hours tomorrow in one shot. Going way south to a spot we haven’t been to yet but another guy said they had seen a bunch of deer down... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
This started off as our best morning yet with 40+ deer within 1 hour of shooting light. Problem was only 1 was a small buck. Spent the rest of the morning working it hard, just not turning much up. Guides brother who is helping out found a couple sheds and as many people who have been in this... -

No buck tonight. Still pretty slow although it was a beautiful evening. Literally threw some rocks into some thick brush and spooked up 7 does early, then not much until right before dark. Might have spotted a decent buck a LONG way off right at dark tonight but it was 2+ miles away and hard... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Sure hope so because this morning was a disappointment. Pretty sunrise though. Less than 20 does and one spike this morning. Not a single deer the first hour of daylight in a spot that should be really good. After getting skunked there we have been checking other spots the rest of the... -

We have been taking pretty short lunch breaks ever since the first couple days so no chance to go see the Grand Canyon so wife went today without me. The main north rim area is still closed from the fire but a couple overlooks are still open. She might go to Zion tomorrow, but not sure... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
No Halloween buck for me. :( Not much going this afternoon either. Maybe 15 does total. Fewer along the road this evening coming back to camp. It was a bit breezy so not sure how much that was a factor but the 2 days we saw the most deer was when it was the calmest. This is my guides 6th... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
I know I have glassed more hours on this hunt than any other hunt I’ve ever been on and it’s not even close. Of course it helps that it has been 7 1/2 days but even on my Wyoming mountain goat hunt that took 9 days I thought I glassed a lot, but I’ve glassed for at least twice as long already... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Kind of a bust this morning and I thought it was going to be good. Pretty sunrise though. Saw about 25 does and 1 small buck. Here’s a picture of the 160” buck we passed on yesterday. He looks a little better in the video, I may try to post that later. Just a clean 4x4 with a little weak... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
There might be a couple of the small bucks that are repeats from day to day but we went for a few days without seeing any bucks so no repeats on those days! Really hoping that today is the day! The Halloween buck of 2025. -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
I did ask about how that would work with the extra guides and helpers and they said that they should have already received a decent tip from their successful hunter and that I didn’t need to tip them just for helping out. I did buy the entire crew lunch at the cafe yesterday though. They did... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
A couple other things I just remembered. Everyone has pretty much left and we have the place to ourselves. No gunshots today and only one other vehicle. The end of the 7 day hunt means we are losing some of the extra guides and helpers. Now down to just the 2 guides with clients left and 1... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Just finished day 7 of my 7 day hunt and now we are about to go into extra innings. Saw 20+ does and 2 bucks this afternoon and evening and then 50+ deer on the highway in the dark on the way back to camp. That’s 70+ does and 8 bucks total today not counting the ones in the dark on the way... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I have really stepped up on the pecking order of things! We ended up having to split up for a while this morning and I got assigned my own radio! “Nathan do you copy?” Heck ya! ;) -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Morning started out really good seeing about 30 does and 4 small bucks within 30 minutes of shooting light. Ended up seeing a total of 50+ does and 6 small bucks when it was all said and done. Got back to camp late since things were moving and probably heading back out pretty quickly. Another... -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
I feel like I’m getting more than my moneys worth. I think it is really neat how the other guides stick around to help out once their clients are tagged out. We have been working hard, just need to get some luck coming our way. -
Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt
Not much going this evening. Saw a few does. One of the guys spotting saw a medium buck but nothing to get excited about. They are still not seeming to be too worried. A couple of the extra guys went looking in some different spots this afternoon but I haven’t heard on anything that they...
