Taking Monster Elk in California with Parrey Cremeans

All the elk hunts in California are premium elk hunts. You have to draw a tag or buy a conservation tag, which can cost as much as $20,000.

Herd bulls are always difficult to call, because they’re usually the biggest and the smartest bulls in an area. Most of the time, the only way you can call a herd bull in is by being persistent and staying after those bulls.
