Tejon Ranch is one of the top Rocky Mountain elk hunting destinations in the United States. Our Trophy Elk Hunt is a one-on-one guided experience with an expert guide to help locate trophy bulls on the 270,000 acre private ranch. Hunters have averaged a gross Boone and Crockett score over 380” for the past 5 years. We are confident that we will help you find a bull of true trophy caliber.
– In 1966 the California Department of Fish and Game issued a permit for the release of 300 Rocky Mountain Elk from Yellowstone National Park. The elk were to be released into a high fence game farm ranch that was located in close proximity to Tejon Ranch.
-Story goes that a wind storm fell a tree that knocked down the fence allowing the elk to escape.
-The elk slowly migrated on to Tejon Ranch where they have continued to flourish since that time. Fair to mild climates, abundant feed, and very low hunting pressure are three very important factors that have helped the elk to grow not only in herd size, but grow into mature trophy animals.
-Started hunting elk on Tejon Ranch in the mid 1980’s through state issued tags. Only harvesting a couple bull elk per year. As the herd continued to grow and mature the number of elk harvested each year began to increase as well. With an emphasis on management Tejon Ranch has become one of the top locations in the country to hunt true trophy Rocky Mountain Elk.
