Trinity Fork Outfitters

Trinity Fork Outfitters guides fully supported elk hunting trips in one of California's most productive but tag-limited zones. The far northeastern corner of the state holds a robust Rocky Mountain elk population, but the scarcity of available tags makes this a high-value hunt.

Success comes from two proven approaches:

• •Spot and stalk - covering terrain to locate elk
• •Calling - bringing bulls in close

Most importantly is time behind the glass pre-season locating groups of elk.

The outfitter emphasizes pre-hunt scouting and glassing to identify bull groups before the season opens.

All packages feature a knowledgeable guide, field-to-camp transportation, meals and non-alcoholic beverages, lodging, and pack-out of meat and trophies. No trophy fees.

Minimum 5 days recommended. Rates range from $6,500 (5 days/5 nights) to $8,100 (7 days/8 nights).

Hunters are responsible for hunting license, tags, clothing, personal gear, and their weapon. Rifle hunters should practice to at least 200 yards; archery hunters to 50 yards minimum. No alcohol before or during hunts.
