 Tule Elk/Rachel Kanewske
In the Tule Elks pristine state it is noted that they were not preyed on by sufficiently large enough predators except the mountain lions which still would not have faired well in the open range that the elk preferred as habitat (McCullough, 1969).
In the late 1700s and early 1800's when California was first settled by Europeans there are many accounts of the herds of "deer" and the majesty of the scenes that were documented in California's early history.
The nearest relatives to the Tule elk are the Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and the Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti).

 State's Tule Elk Herds Running Out of Room / Running Out of Room to Roam / Tule elk population pushing state's limits
California's effort to bring tule elk back from the brink of extinction has succeeded so well that the state is grappling with a surplus elk problem.
Tule elk were the predominant ungulate in California valleys and foothills before Europeans arrived, with the population estimated at 500,000.
By banning tule elk hunting, closely monitoring the population and relocating some elk when their ranges became overcrowded, California had established three healthy herds by 1940, in Buttonwillow, Cache Creek in Lake and Colusa counties and in the Owens Valley.

The region around Elk was home to some of the first non-native settlers along the Mendocino coast, and it's easy to see why as the town is perched above a spectacular rocky cove opening out to the Pacific Ocean.
Then, in 1883, a local entreprenuer, Lorenzo White, purchased most of the land around Elk, established a large mill, built a railroad to support it, and fueled a growth spurt that drove the population to its peak of one thousand.
Around the turn of the century this town was alive with hotels, saloons, dance halls, and general stores along with a barber, butcher, flsmith, jeweler, candy store, creamery, and livery stable.
