The tule elk is found only in California. Their name comes from a species of sedge, called tule, that is native to the freshwater marshes where the elk historically fed. This type of elk is the smallest of the 3 types of North American elk. A large bull will weigh 500 pounds. The rut usually occurs later than the other types of elk due to the hot climate. They are typically found in open semi-desert terrain and are usually hunted on private ranches in July and August, before the rut leads to fighting which can break off antler points. This country is very hot during the season – it is not uncommon for temperatures to reach 100 degrees while hunting. Through our network of outfitters and ranches, we can offer both management and trophy bull tule elk hunts. Many of our outfitters will give you an opportunity at a Boone and Crockett bull.
Tule elk often inhabit rolling to flat terrain. Most of the tags obtained are landowner tags as drawing a tag through the state is very tough. These hunts often take place on ranches but do take place on public land as well. Archery or firearm seasons, pre-bugle, bugle, post-bugle and late season, we can do it. So, whatever your abilities or desires are, after a discussion, we can find the perfect hunt for you. No matter what kind of Tule elk hunt you’re looking for we got you covered.
