Looking at drawing an X3b Tag Finally

Well I'm new to this forum and just hoping to find out some info. I'm putting in for X3B with to 2 points going into the drawing. I have heard that this zone is pretty good. I'm a displaced southern boy hunting in California due to the military. I only bow hunt and aint really had much time to hunt California like i should. This year I'm making a point to hunt California hard and not run back home to Alabama if hunting gets to hard. I usually go back home and kill two or three in a week (its nice). I'm stationed at Beale AFB and i know its a drive to X3B but i would love to get some scouting in, just need to know that lay of the land. Hope yalll could help me out by just giving me a little info. I dont wait anybody to give up there honey whole but just a general area to start scouting would be a big help. Well thank yall...Steve
