Tule Elk Hunting
Big Game Hunting in California
Guided Tule Elk Hunts
We have access to private ranches with the best quality Tule Elk in the state. If you are one of the lucky hunters to draw the hunt of a lifetime, we can guide you on your hunt. We offer a 5-day hunt if you choose Frontera Hunting with your Draw Tag. Bulls can be expected to score 275″ – 325″
We can arrange all your taxidermy work for you and pickup/delivery arrangements will be made with a third/party.
