California Elk Hunting

G & J Outdoor Enterprises / Auburn, CA / (530) 885-1492

We have over 20 years experience calling and locating bulls in the rut during both archery and rifle seasons. We hunt all three species of elk: Rocky Mountain elk, Roosevelt elk and Tule elk. Our success rate has been 90% in California and 100% in Nevada. Since 1999, our clients have taken15 B&C bulls. In California, our Rocky Mountain elk hunts take place on the Northeastern hunt. For Roosevelt elk, we hunt the Northwestern, Del Norte, Klamath and Big Lagoon hunts. Our Tule elk hunts take place on Cache Creek, East Park Reservoir and Grizzly Island. These hunts offer an excellent opportunity to harvest a B&C bull. These hunts are draw hunts. For the Northwestern elk hunt we have access to a private ranch. Because the Northwestern hunt is on private property, there are additional trespass and harvest fees; please call for details.The application deadline for California is the end of May. California auction and private landowner elk tags are also available. The rates quoted below for your 5 day California hunt do not include meals and lodging due to variations in the locations. Season dates are August through October.
