"The Kaibab archery deer hunt will not be by draw this year as proposed, but there will be a mandatory checkout station."
"An issue that received lots of public comment was the Kaibab archery deer hunts. The commission was considering three options that ranged from keeping the status quo to going to a draw system for archery deer north of the Colorado River.
The major archery organizations within the state opposed instituting a draw this year, but asked that the season be shortened to two weeks long and open Aug. 23 (the same time as the other archery deer hunts), and then close on Sept. 5. The groups also asked that a mandatory check station be established to collect harvest data in the field. The organizations offered to assist the department in manning the check station. The commission went along with the proposed compromise.
Game Branch Chief Tice Supplee said the check station information is very important to the department because it will provide age and weight information for the archery harvest on the Kaibab."
