Zona and her husband Michael were lucky enough to draw yet again for the 12 AE late hunt on the Kaibab Plateau. They called as soon as they found out and booked with us for hopefully another successful hunt. With the year being down on quality of big bucks throughout all of northern Arizona we didn't know what to expect. The second day into the hunt I found a true Kaibab giant but conditions didn't make it to where we were able to connect with this buck. Later that day I took them back to where I thought the big buck would have ran to. After just a few seconds of glassing I told Michael to get his gun up cause the big buck was 300 yards across the canyon trotting across the open hillside. As luck would have it he was looking directly into the sun and wasn't able to find the buck in his cross hairs. Honestly it was kind of sad for me to watch that big ole buck trot over the top of the ridge never to been seen by us the remainder of the hunt. A couple days later Zona had her chance at another awesome buck but was not able to connect on him. The shot was near impossible for anyone to make and she came dang close to making it happen. But out luck changed a couple days latter when they were both able to connect on these great Kaibab bucks. I had a great time hunting with them and I hope the can draw the tag again so we can have another fun week together sharing stories and teasing one another. Thanks Michael and Zona for a hunt I will always remember.
