Mike,

With more than a little experience with California, it's not too surprising to hear that. A state filled with leftist folks absent common sense. Thanks for the explanation. I was curious about that. I've heard that there are whitetails in a small portion of the state, but have nothing to substantiate that claim.

The Tules are cool!

I was just north of that area a month ago up above Ft Bragg on a Perch Fishing journey.

We have a large herd of Tules down here on the Central Coast of California, too. The herd that Larry mentioned out of Bakersfield is the La Panza herd. These herds are hunted every year for management. It's pretty much like getting struck by lightening to get drawn but if your after your Grand Slam you can pay upwards of $15k to get on a ranch and utilize a landowner issued tag.

Just yesterday on 9/1 we had our Dove opener. I was hunting on Camp Roberts Army base about an hour from my house and in the dark on our way to our spot we busted a herd of about 30 Tule Elk in the dark. Another 100 yards down the road we stumbled on a smaller group that had a huge what appeared to be a 5x5! They bugeled all morning before sun-up. They're awesome!
