I found this guy today. Antelope numbers are way lower than what I would have thought was in this unit.

The biggest mule deer buck was near the Grand Canyon and also the bison where to. The smaller more average bucks. Are where there are lots of archery tags. I seen one nice buck where you could hunt he just got out of there with out me getting a good pic in the spotting scope. If  I lived about 1000 miles closer I would put in for archery deer north of the canyon. The biggest buck let me walk to about 20 yards and take a pic with my ipad

Not bad, low cutters and he loses his mass above them.

Today I was able to harvest a great buck. This buck I had named Mr. Diggers. He is the biggest buck I was able to find in my unit, he also has the most wall appeal :IBCOOL: I found this buck late afternoon of day three's scouting trip. He was out rutting with his heard in a huge flat about three miles across . I put a way point in my GPS with his location. This was the first buck I've seen that I was like "that's my buck." (The super tall buck that I have posted above is on the unit boundary about one mile outside my area, or I would have hunted him) After looking over more new country and some nice bucks. But not finding anything else over 80 inches. I decided to go hunt for Mr. Diggers on opening morning. I had seen a few other hunters watching him. So I figured I would get out there early. I left the hotel a 3 am. With my lovely 7 month pregnant wife. I can't believe what she puts up with :) We show up and see no other trucks there yet, it's 3:40 am now. My game plan is to get the wind in my favor and set up out in the flat before light. This was rolling the dice because he could have been anywhere. But with no cover to stalk in on them I had to use the darkness or belly crawl in and hope. So I set up near where I had last seen them. I start glassing in the twilight seeing nothing. Then right at shooting hours I see a buck chasing two does at 300 yards. It's legal hours but still to dark to tell if it's the right buck. After about 15 minutes I confirmed it was my chosen buck. They had moved closer to me by now so I ranged them at 250 yards. It seemed like quiet a while before I could get a standing broad side shot without a doe next to him. But finally he cleared himself and I took the shot. His Gross score is 83 4/8. So he should make Boone and Crockett's all time record book. We will find out in 60 days :tup:
