Independence Elk help

[Shake N Bake]

Wondering if anyone could give up some info on the Cali Independence Elk Hunt. My buddy drew a rifle cow tag and is heading up blind. I'm just trying to give him a chance since these Cali tags are few and far between. Any info would be appreciated. I could return the favor with some info on a few western states in return! Thanks, Shake N Bake

Mix of public and private land, best I know to say at this late moment is make contact with the F&G in the area (have a map in your hand) and they are usually good about telling you whats up.

My understanding is that DFG monitor's the elk herds and are pretty good about getting the information you need to score an animal. The California elk herds are very closely managed and the tag numbers that are distributed have a high harvest success rate which DFG expects and calculates for healthy herd populations.

Snake Charmer is right, contact DFG!

Like NBK said, the Dfg in the Owens valley wants you to harvest, go to the source and they will help.

My brother's neighbor went on that hunt. DFG told him right where to go in the morning and the afternoon. He got one.
DFG up there are cool.

Were you successful?

 

[baboltin]

yes I was shot a cow first day, took a little while to find the heard but once I found them the hardest part was getting close enough to them as they were very spooky and there were 50-60 in the heard so all those eye balls watching us.
