Review

If you're going to hunt elk, you can count on putting out a lot of effort and probably a lot of money, too. Much better you know what you're getting into before you start, and there is no one better to learn from than Sam Curtis. He is a naturalist, a woodsman, and as I can tell you from personal experience, a hell of an elk hunter. Reading his book will not guarantee you success, but it will certainly tilt the odds more in your favor.--David E. Petzal, Deputy Editor, Field & Stream.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, March 8, 2006

By	Jason Robinson "yote man" (western us) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was all together disappointing. It was very repeative and offered very little useful information. It had one or two good points, but repeated them over and over. If you want to hunt elk in Montana, this book goes over every possible place an elk could be, whick is a lot of places. Parts of the book were controdictory to other parts. No mention of field judging antlers, and very little mention of useful equipment. If you are looking for a good elk hunting book check out elk hunting by mike eastman.
