Dan Burton drove all the way from Arkansas to hunt the early Kaibab hunt and I was the lucky one that got to take him. He arrived the day before the opening day and we headed out for the evening to see what we could see. After not seeing anything I was curious how the opening morning was going to be. We hunted pretty hard opening morning and hadn’t had any luck but that changed when we went down to one of my favorite little "honey holes". We sat up and sent my hunting partner Chase to make a loop and see if he could push out some deer we had seen go into a thick draw. This awesome buck came trotting right through the saddle where I told Dan to be looking. As I threw my binoculars up to make sure it was a good enough buck to be shooting Dan was saying repeatedly "should I shoot", in the split second it took me to see it was a shooter I said shoot and before I even got the oot out of the word shoot I heard "boom" and there lay this buck. He was a 4x5 that scored 197"
