Tejon Ranch : Conservation : Wildlife
The vast lands of Tejon Ranch support a variety of wildlife, including deer, elk, antelope, wild pigs, wild turkey, black bear, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, squirrels, pigeons, doves and quail. Wildlife management plays an important role in maintaining a balance of the many species that inhabit the ranch.
The Ranch works closely with California’s Department of Fish and Game to enhance wildlife, while providing a carefully managed hunting program. Through a Private Lands Wildlife Management License, the ranch sets the hunting seasons, the harvest limits, ages of animals to be harvested and the number of hunting licenses issued. All these factors are designed to maintain a healthy and balanced wildlife population so that one species does not negatively impact the welfare of another.
Tejon’s programs are considered among the best in the nation. The California Department of Fish and Game has recognized the ranch for its “outstanding contributions to the promotion of California’s rich hunting heritage.” Hunting opportunities are offered under safe and controlled access and range from big game hunting to family-oriented programs. Special programs are also offered for women and youths.
Five full-time guides are available to accompany hunters on the various programs that are offered year round. Facilities on the ranch include remote hunting camps and two lodges.
Safety is very important. That’s why the Ranch limits the number of hunters in a given area.
Hunters are required to have a valid California hunting license, which requires a hunter’s safety course or 10 hours of instruction in safety.
