Does anyone have any good book recommendations regarding hunting Elk or hunting the NW in general?

I checked out and read a bundle of deer and elk books from the library in years past while trying to figure out how to be a successful hunter - don't overlook that resource. :twocents:
I have to admit, I totally forgot about the library... Thank you for the reminder Band!

Older book but the book 'Elk Talk' by Don Laubach and Mark Henckel was a good read and I think I will go into my first rut archery elk hunt this year better off for having read it. Even if you aren't planning to hunt in the rut there is a lot of good info in the book about elk habits throughout the seasons and hunting tactics to use

Something that people overlook when digging up reading material when it pertains to hunting is literature on the animal itself. Understanding animal behavior, breeding habits, migration habits, and food sources is a huge asset in the field. Anything Valerius Geist is solid.I agree, although Geist's detailed discussion of necrotic stomotitis in wintering elk put me to sleep on more than one reading attempt. Make sure you have some caffeine handy just in case. :)
