Named for President Theodore Roosevelt, they are the largest variety of elk in North America. Both males and females have dark brown heads and pale brown bodies. Males are larger than females, and identifiable by a set of antlers. Roosevelt elk are much larger than the black-tail deer that inhabit the same areas.

All animals display a prominent white rump. They average 7 feet in length and stand 4-5 feet in height at the shoulder.
Unit 1 and Unit 201 in the northwest corner of Colorado are known for their fabulous elk hunting. This is undoubtedly the best region in the state for producing giant bulls. This region consistently produces elk in the 330” to 380” B&C class for those who have the preference points to draw.
Tule elk can reliably be found in Carrizo Plain National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, portions of the Owens Valley from Lone Pine to Bishop, on Coyote Ridge in Santa Clara Valley, San Jose, California and in Pacheco State Park and areas surrounding San Luis reservoir near Los Banos, California.

Look to the Routt National Forest where you'll find large elk numbers. The basic movement is from the higher to lower elevations in response to hunting pressure and elevation. With 48 percent of the land available to the public, hunters, over the past few years, have reported about an 18% success rate.
Named after President Theodore Roosevelt, Roosevelt elk are a conservation success story in the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest. When conservation efforts began to protect Roosevelt elk, there were only a few hundred members of the species left.
5,700 tule elkCurrently there are approximately 5,700 tule elk throughout California in numerous herds.
Today, largely because of state-sponsored captive breeding and reintroduction efforts, 4,300 tule elk live in 22 isolated herds throughout California. So the agency has quietly stopped expanding herds of the species, which is not threatened or endangered.

The polarity symbol on the rating plate of an AC to DC power supply indicates if the centre (or tip) of the output plug is positive (+) or negative (-). It is important to use a power supply having the correct polarity for the host device. Reverse polarity may result in malfunctioning or damaged equipment.
The difference between positive and negative voltage is analogous to the difference between positive and negative pressure (i.e., a vacuum). In the case of voltage, positive or negative simply refers to the polarity of the voltage relative to some reference point.
