Grizzly Island Tule Elk Hunt Results
We ended our Grizzly Island elk hunt with a bang! Haha. I was acting as Bills guide/spotter on his hunt. We discussed prior to the hunt that we would do whatever it takes to be successful and bag a big bull (to be Relentless). Our hunt began before sunrise working our way into an area we could sit and glass.

Leaving in the morning for our Tule Elk hunt. Here’s a clip of what we hope to expect.
offGrizzly Island Elk Hunt
Our countdown to our Grizzly Island Elk hunt is almost here. The hunt dates are Sept. 22-25. Although I was not the lucky on to have drawn the tag I am very lucky to get to accompany my hunting partner Bill on his expedition. We have been filming everything leading up to this hunt and hopefully will get good footage of the hunt. According to the DFG there are 35 branched antlered tule elk in the Grizzly island herd. Over the last couple weeks we scouted a couple times and found just over 20 of these elk. It has been thrilling hearing the bugles of these animals and watching them during the rut. The elk during this period have been extremely vocal and fighting to establish their dominance. This has been a great experience especially so close to home. We have filmed many of these elk and we are studying the footage to pick the bull we want to hunt. So far there a few that we hope will present themselves during our hunt. We want to make sure to get one of the big bulls since getting this tag is like winning the lottery. This morning we visited the taxidermist and made plans to care for our hopeful trophy. I will try to update very soon with some of our scouting footage and hunt plans.

We Got It On Video

A slight breeze was moving from the west when we stopped on the side of Highway 395. Dawn was just breaking over the horizon of the Inyo mountain range and opening day was only thirty minutes away. The wind direction meant we needed to drive around to the other side of the honey hole. The ten mile drive would eat up all of the time and drop us off almost a mile away from the rutting Tule elk.
