Colorado Has extremely complex license application rules and laws. Because of that and that I have gotten licenses her for the past 50 years we will apply for the license for you if you wish. We don't charge the $50-$100 for this service like others, we provide it at no charge with every hunt booked to again confirm that your hunt is a very enjoyable hunt. The incorrect license can be a very bad day. We want to send you home after you hunt with a elk and good memories from your hunt.

You can hunt and shoot a Tule Bull with us without the necessity of drawing a California Tule Elk license. In addition to our PLM program, we also partner with private land owners within the La Panza zone area. Clients who drew a state tag within the La Panza zone can book a hunt on private land with us as well. Call for pricing since we have multiple ranches we work with. Many times, the Hunting License is what prevents most elk hunters from hunting their prized Tuley. We make the dream a memory to remember and to ad to you big Game and Elk collection.
Each morning you will have breakfast then head out in a 4x4 vehicle for the elk. The private ranch you will be hunting is well known to your guide, probably better than their own back yard.
You will be riding and glassing the southern California hills looking for these beauties. First light you will be checking the food sources, open or small meadows with grass that is still green or forbes growing at the edges of these meadows, they will then bed down where they have thermal temperature control. If it is a chilly morning they will bed where the sun can hit them and warm there heat absorbent outer hide and collect Chlorophyll for their bodies to produce vitamin C. Of course, radian California sun can add 10 degrees to the “felt” temperature.
If it is windy they will look for a place to bed out of the wind again temperature control, and so they can better hear approaching danger. Wind also acts as a coolant to the air on the elk. I may be 30 degrees but with wind chill it feels like 20 degrees.
If they are spooky they will head for thicker cover where their ears and nose give them the advantage. Here they can be difficult to locate and pattern because without our advantage of binoculars we are limited in out locating elk strength with binoculars.
These early hunts will be warm and with the hide of elk being so warm most days they will head for shade for the day.
In the afternoon after digesting what they ate for breakfast and the warm temperatures they will head for water directly or quickly feed that way. This is a good place for a afternoon ambush. Your guide knows all the water sources. Their favorites are water sources in cover because they feel threatened when drinking. If there are no water sources with cover they will go where ever they can get water it is a must. The movement also enhances your ability to locate them. A search of the ground around the water holes will show if it is a active water source and if they used it the prior afternoon. If they did and have not been disturbed they will be there the next day. Elk drink 10-15 gallons of water per day. This includes always in the afternoon and on hot days they will hit the water hole before bedding for the day.
The time of the year is important because while the velvet is still on the rule is they will be in bachelor herds, after the velvet comes off in September they will be splitting up and building harems.
At the water holes and places, you see tracks you can tell the bachelor herds of bull from the cows and calves. The bull herd tracks will all be around the same size, mature elk. If it is a cow calf herd you will see full size mature cow tracks but watch for the telltale small tracks of the calves. The cow calf herds always drink in the morning and afternoon at least because of the smaller food and water capacity of the calves.
Your guide with his knowledge of the habitat and pre-scouting will be able to hone these areas and times to a finer point but these are good rules to hunt by.
Of course, we are hunting in a lead-free bullet zone so your ammunition must be lead free. For the first time, we will even do these hunts when the velvet is full on the antlers and not pealing so that your trophy’s antlers will be in full velvet which is an even better trophy very seldom seen in the trophy Tuley Elk trophies.
The Guide will field dress and skin your elk then we have a complimentary delivery to a local butcher.
The is a hunt that if fully guided, 1 on 1 guide with hunter along with meals and lodging included for up to 5 days. You will be hunting early in the 2018 Season and be able to hunt August and September when the bulls and their antlers in velvet are at their prime. If you do want one without velvet we can hunt September after it has been rubbed off the antlers.
The tule elk is a subspecies of elk found only in California, ranging from the grasslands and marshlands of the Central Valley to the grassy hills on the coast. The bulls average 440 – 550 pounds, while the cows are 370 – 430 pounds. The Tule is considered the smallest of the wapiti in North America, the tule elk were the dominant large ungulate in California prior to the arrival of the Spanish.
The elk subspecies that we recognize today are the Rocky Mountain elk, Roosevelt elk, Tule elk and the lesser followed Manitoban elk, of Canada. The two others are the Eastern elk, and the Merriam's elk in Mississippi and Southwest United States which are now extinct.
Conservation and herd management along with disease studies on elk have made the herds much stronger today with the population of Rocky Mountain Elk being over 450,000 in Colorado alone.
