    Trying to head that way either Feb 17th or the following weekend. In terms of feeder hunting- February has always been the most active month in my opinion. Seems like every February I have a few 'Nat. Geo.' quality hunts.

      I'll be out this weekend also. Heading out this afternoon to try and hammer some pigs and fill the protein feeders.

          We were out today and found a shed antler.... I think this is the earliest we've found one.

            Just got home and getting ready for Super Bowl ! We got the feeders filled and managed to thin the coon population by 11 and the cooler was empty ! So I'd say a very successful trip !

              We just got on a place called the T4 ranch 30 miles south of Sonora. There are some axis. Any other exotics we should be looking for?

                From what I've read, it's best to feed protein starting the next few weeks and continuing through late summer, is that correct?


                I would feed protein Year around if you have some exotics and want them to stay around. The axis on our place love it. We use the Lamco timed protein feeders.

                            For first timers in Sonora area just a word of caution is to be patient. You will see good bucks prob every time you sit in the blind. 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.

                              That's good to know. One of the guys on the lease mentioned the same and that the first two weeks of December were usually peak rut.

                              Which part of Sonora are you hunting?

                                Yep this man speaks the Truth...I have hunted 30 miles east of Sonora since 2001..You will not get an idea of the quality of bucks that are on your lease till the week of Thanksgiving thru Dec 10..They really hit it hard during this time and you will continually see New Bucks, and Bucks that travel during the day (all-day)..Plan to take some Vacation time during these weeks because it really gets quiet during the middle of the week and they will move all-day...Good Luck
