Elk Tactics: Advanced Strategy for Hunting and Calling Elk

This is a very good book for new and experienced elk hunters. I found the first hand experiences of the authors extremely helpful in my preparations for the season. They share their own ideas on many aspects of elk hunting that helped me in the planning phases of my next hunt. I found the information on set-up and calling most helpful but enjoyed it all. Most hunters I know are always seeking new ideas on how to improve their success ratio and this book definitely provides some excellent information to consider the next time you're in the field.

Elk Tactics provides a verbally, but not pictorally graphic discussion of Elk hunting strategy. The authors focus on strategy and gloss over discussions of gear. You can find many references on gear and nobody agrees anyway so this is not a serious shortcomming of the work. I found the section on where to hunt very useful as a starting point for some serious pre-season scouting and map work. The descriptions of elk habitat and how to hunt it was very clear and logical. You will need more than this book to get the full spectrum of all that you need to know, but at the modest price it is highly recommended. I appreciated the author's contribution to the field of elk hunting literature and am confident that you will also.

Very well wriiten book on elk hunting. Not fluffy and very informative. Could have been longer and a bit more detailed in some aspects however.
