California Elk Hunting

[Gamehog]

With California having all three Elk species which one would you put in for? I have always put in for my tule tag, but the Roosevelt is much easier to draw.

I think a lot depends on where you want to hunt... I to put in for the tule elk hunt only cause I've hunted in the area before.

Tule Elk (archery) only here.......I figure I can hunt the other species in other states......but CA is the only place to get a Tule.

I'm thinking I'll stick with my Tule. Last season I filmed two Roosevelt hunts in northwest California and it got me hooked on roosevelt elk. But like you say BOHNTR you can only get your Tule in California.

I have always put in for the rocky mtn elk up in NE CA just because dad knows the country pretty well from when he went to school up there. Now I'm also thinking of putting in for the tule because he isn't going to put in anymore. (Bad knees!)

If I was a resident I would be putting in for Tule or Roosevelt in true trophy untits like Del Norte and Point Reyes

After seeing several Roosevelt elk in Oregon while on vacation last week I think they would have to be near the top of my out of state wish list. I have seen several over the years driving by the refuge outside Reedsport but I got close to a couple up on the coast this time and was able to realize how big they really are. Talk about a freezer filler I've seen shiras cows that didn't look as big as a couple of those ladies.

I agree. You can hunt the others anywere but the the Tule are only in Ca. I say keep trying for the Tule

Tule. I can get a Rosie in OR.

I took a nice Roosevelt 5X5in Orick California two years ago. I'm trying for a Tule now. You can get the roosevelts and the Rocky Mountian elk else where, but I would like to get all three in California. We are the only state that I know of that you can do that.
