I don't think there's very many Calf. guys on this forum. Try http://www.jesseshunting.com/ for information on X3A. It would probably help to give a little more explanation as to why you applied for an area you know nothing about. Is this your first deer hunt? They will give some general information and tips but I think they are more willing to help people that have shown some initiative, such as scouting the area first. Good Luck on your hunt.

I'm a CA guy. I hunted X3a last year. Scouted it twice before the season. Saw some pretty nice bucks while they were in the velvet.
There is very little pressure in the area I hunted, saw only one other camp and the only other hunters I saw were road hunters. And only two of them at that.
Deer numbers are still down in this zone. Some blame the lions, I did see some lion sign, and the biologists blame the habitat. If you aren't to picky about how big a buck you'll be happy with just road hunt, a quad would work best, and you'll kill a buck. Now if you are huntin horns you'll have to work hard or get lucky, more than likely both. I hunted hard for 5 days and shot the biggest buck I saw on the hunt. He was a heavy and tall 23" wide 3x2. My uncle shot a 21" 4x3 on day six. We got a tip from a cowboy and shot the buck just off the road where he said it was.
If you would like to know the spots I hunted PM me.

Didn't mean to sound so critical. I've definitely applied for new areas based on the odds. Just trying to help, since you didn't have any responses. I still would try over at Jesse's and check the Calf. fish and game web site. If you can track down a biologist or game warden for that area, they will usually give some pointers as well. Good Luck.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-11-06 AT 09:00PM (MST)[p]Wow.... so that's what I been doin' wrong... apparently I'm supposed to pre-scout the entire state before I settle on a zone and apply for tags... hell, I better get busy 'cause I'm applying for alota tags in like 6 or 7 states...
By the way, Onecut, congrats on a good tag you should do well with that... fun country to hunt.

I plan on drawing a tag for the Goodale hunt in the next 6 or 7 years- anyone know where I should start looking for a good buck?!! HAHA There will be people on this site that will help and some wont. Take the good with the bad. Most will help though.....knock on wood.

ONECUT - I wish I could help more, but I've never hunted California. I used to apply, but could never draw a tag so I gave up. If you draw in Nevada again look me up on here. For hunting deer I mostly know the northwest and local areas around Carson. Although, with the gas prices so high I've only scouted close to home this year.
