Tinemaha Archery Bull

[Elmacho]

I think I just used all the luck I had with Drawing this tag, well hopefully not all my luck, still need the bull on the ground.

I know the area and the elk a bit, but have never heard from any who have hunted this hunt.

Anyone out there have any insight on the hunt?

Thanks,

Mark

Congrats on the tag. I was just up there yesterday and saw over 100 elk without looking very hard. You'll have no problem finding the elk. It might be tough to locate a big bull that's not busted up. Good luck. Ed F

I had a feeling you might say that.

What hunt did you have when you got your tule?

I had the Owens Valley Archery tag. I shot my bull in the Tinemaha unit. Don't worry, you'll have an awsome hunt. The rut will be over. They rut the first of August. E-mail me and I'll share some info. Ed F

Try to focus around water. Along the Owens river (lone Pine Hunt) is where I got mine. Before light I climbed the highest hill near me and glassed till dawn. I found the herd along the river grazing like "slow elk". Hardly any stalk, maybe 30yds. The Owens valley hunts are similar, same sage and desert along the Owens River. The most impressive thing I saw while hunting Tule Elk in the Owens valley is the intense herding of these elk once spooked. They tend to herd up into a tight ball and all run together. And even more interesting is that the herd always ran to the east across the sage toward the mountains. A idea I had was to position myself about a half mile east of the river after spotting the herd and wait until someone spooked them. There are lots of drainages to hide in to make a stalk.
Good Luck.
