Looking for a good book on Elk hunting
« on: April 09, 2020, 07:38:38 PM »
Any suggestions for a good book to read on Elk hunting?  Wanting to add something to my book shelf. I am looking to increase my knowledge on calling, strategy, logistics, etc. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this one.  From 1987, but a good read regardless.

Good read

For strategy, calling, tactics... get Paul Medel’s (ElkNut) The Playbook. John Ericksons Tree Stand Hunting Rocky Mountain Elk is also worth having. If you really want to dive deep into the wapiti’s “whys and how’s” , get Elk: Behavior, Ecology, Conservation. Thanks

Ordered up the elk nut playbook. Hard to find any newer books on elk hunting out there, say 2010 or newer.  I Guess people don't write books anymore?
