The Vermejo Park Ranch Definition of a Management Bull Elk

A Management bull elk at Vermejo is generally a mature bull elk with one or both pedicels damaged due to physical or genetic causes that results in an obvious deformity of one or both antlers. Some older 5X5 bulls also qualify as management bulls. The guide will make the final call whether the bull qualifies for harvest. Obviously young bulls, young symmetrical 5X5s or large non-typical bulls are not considered management bulls. Management bulls generally have lower B&C scores (our average since 2014 is 254) but tend to have a lot of “character”. Our management bull elk hunt is one of our most difficult in terms of harvest success. You will see many bulls but only a few will qualify as management bulls, then you still have to make a good shot. Our management bull hunt success rate since 2014 has been about 65% on average.
