Tule Elk – San Luis National Wildlife Refuge

By: Brad R Lewis
Date: January 2017
Location: San Luis National Wildlife Refuge - Los Banos, California USA

San Luis National Wildlife Refuge is located in Northern California off highway 5 and north of Los Banos - Google Maps Link. On New Years Day it was a cool, wet, windy morning and I arrived just after sunrise. In my past visits I often see Tule Elk driving the Tule Elk Tour Route but on this Sunday there were 8 - 10 of them within 100 yards of the fence line. The sun was rising, the wind was blowing and it was a great Tule Elk photo opportunity.
