About this trip
Experience one of California's most sought-after big game hunting opportunities with Lost Valley Outfitters' fully guided Tule Elk Hunts. Whether you've drawn a coveted California Tule elk tag or are pursuing an opportunity through the Private Land Management (PLM) program, our experienced guides provide the local knowledge, access, and hands-on support needed to make the most of your hunt.
Operating across California's La Panza, Gabilan, Central Coast, Fort Hunter Liggett, and San Luis Reservoir elk units, Lost Valley Outfitters offers guided bull and cow elk hunts on private and public hunting grounds, depending on your tag and selected package.
Our hunts take place across some of California's most scenic elk country, from rolling oak-covered hills and pine-studded slopes to agricultural valleys and rugged juniper terrain. Hunters can expect early mornings, extensive glassing from proven vantage points, and strategic spot-and-stalk opportunities tailored to elk movement, terrain, and seasonal conditions.
For hunters pursuing a mature trophy bull, our team focuses on locating quality animals and positioning you for the best possible opportunity. Cow elk hunts provide an equally rewarding experience for hunters looking to fill the freezer with some of California's finest wild game.
