    Noted. Thanks.

    We are south of town about 25 miles. I still have to go check the place out for myself but have a spot reserved until we are allowed to check the place out. I believe it is part of the Whitehead Ranch if that rings any bells.

I've hunted Sonora for 15 years and I learned my lesson the first year is to be patient and it paid off. The good bucks never moved good until first week of December for as long as I can remember.
      As mentioned, this is a great rule of thumb. Our place is 30 mi south of Sonora. We see our bigger bucks very early in bow season and very late into Dec.

        Sounds like we may be pretty close. I will let you know when I head that way to look at the lease. Maybe we can meet up.

          I'm surrounded by a few Whiteheads. Do you know the land owners first name?

          Looks like we have a couple of new TBHers' close by.

                    Ya I've got the itch as well. Can't wait to get back up there at the end of the month and pull camera cards and see what all we got going on.

                            Is anyone around here in the MLD Program? I'm considering it but wondered about tag numbers for the area. I called the Biologist a few days ago and left a voicemail but she never called back.

                              We were in Rafter W at the end of last month and told us they didn't do bulk, when they told me over the phone they did. But I was dealing with young kids so that could of been my issue. May not of understood what I was asking
