I'm looking for some basic how to elk hunting books-going on my first elk hunt in Colorado in August and wanted to do some reading to pass the time! Anybody got any good recommendations?

THANKS!
 
Jim Zumbo's books are good, Eastmans books on elk are also good...there are alot of books dedicated to elk hunting, all have somthing good to say.

i heard mike lapinskys books are good...radical elk hunting strategies and the like...can get them used for pretty cheap at amazon...i have one of them but have not had a chance to read it...i read elk hunting in the northern rockies by ed wolf a few years back and enjoyed it (also a cheap pickup at amazon)...i hear eastmans book is good and it comes w/a dvd...

"Elk Tactics" is a great book by Don Laubach & Mike Henckel also.

I'm also interested in some elk reading material but for Montana. Any suggestions.

Do a google search.
type in "The Golden Age of Elk Hunting" by John Caid
This book is awesome.
A little pricey at $130 but a tremendous book!
Incredible photos of monster bulls.

HH,
I see it in hardcover for $65.00, but maybe that version is sold out.

It looks like a good book.

Thanx!

Besides Lapinski's Ragical Elk Hunting Strategies already mentioned, I'd also recommend Dwight Schuh's Bugling for Elk (Stoneydale Press)

Elk Hunting the West by Mike Eastman. This is the best book I have read on elk hunting.
 
Has anybody read the Bullets, Blood & Backstraps by the Elknut?

Also, were the Elknut videos fun to watch, or instructional?

Grizly
 
I agree w/ griz. "Elk Tactics" is a good one. I reread it every year before scouting and take it with me to camp so my buddies can check it out. I'll check out some of the others mentioned here.
 
I thought that I heard that Chuck Adams is coming out with a book soon about bow hunting (obviously) monster elk. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Grizly
 
The "Elk Tactics" book is, I believe, their third book on elk hunting. I haven't read the first two though.

Grizly
 
In my opinion, "Elk Tactics" is the best I've seen on the subject. Lauback has two others out, "Elk Talk" and "The Elk Hunter." They are good, but not as informative as "Elk Tactics." "Elk Talk" focuses mostly on archery which wasn't my main interest, but it might be real good if you are a bow hunter.
 
I just ordered the Eastman book. It comes with an instructional DVD, and one of their hunting DVD's. All for around $25.00. Can't beat that.

I love their journal.

yea i have read the bullets, blood and backstraps book.
exellent. the best book ive ever read....
especally the chapter on " meat down brown" thats were i got my name on here mdbrown
i am a little biased though
 
mdbrown,

What is the B, B & B book about? Is it an elkhunting instructional book?

Grizly
 
grizly
no its not instructional book, mostly mikes (the auther} elk/ life experences, its very interesting though he has had allot of elk hunting experences . quite a character also. MDB
 
mdbrown,

Thanx for the response. I might have to add that one to my library.
