No, Jay that has to be a mistake. You only have 43 posts as of today. You must turn in that tag and wait a few more years. Rules are Rules. John

Since you're lucky enough to hunt them, you at least ought to know how to spell it and say it. It's Tule elk, not "thule." I hope you weren't saying it that way too.
Anyway, congrats on the draw and good luck on the hunt.

Congrats on the tag.
Congrats Jay. I can't imagine what odds you overcame to pull a tag like that. Once in many lifetimes kind of hunt.

BIte me.
Just kidding. Which hunt did you draw? Grizzly Island, since it is closest to you? Congratulations on a primo tag! They used to have some huge bulls there, but I haven't been back in years.
I applied for Grizzly Island for years, as I used to live in Suisun, just outside the marsh and across from Grizzly Island Road. My brother got drawn for a bull tag there, and got a really nice bull with my help, since I lived less than 15 miles from there. Then a couple years later he got a cow tag on the island. Me - nothing!
Now, since I have max points, I apply for Del Norte Roosevelt bull. (Preference points do not count for the Grizzly Island bull tag, as they only give one or two a year - more for spikes or cows.) If you get drawn for a Grizzly Island bull tag, though, you lose your points even though they did not count for that tag! So I might as well burn my points on a hunt where it may help me get drawn and I can apply for a tutle elk tag until I die.....
I thought notifications didn't go out until around June 22?
Note - I just went to the DFG website and found out that I drew nothing.... again. Just got one morepoint each for elk, antelope and sheep.

A "thule" elk tag is VERY rare my friend....... and even tougher to hunt. A CA tule elk tag is also rare.......but they seem much easier to find. Congrats on the tag.......I had max points and put in for the archery hunt.....to no avail! You'll have a good time. Which hunt did you draw?
