Book Description

The Complete Hunter August 1, 2000

Elk Hunting provides all the basics a hunter needs to know about planning a trip, selecting equipment, understanding elk behavior and mastering hunting techniques.

An elk hunt is not an inexpensive venture. In this book, Zumbo tells how to select an outfitter or plan a do-it-yourself hunt. Moving long distances is not a problem for elk, and finding prime locations is a key to hunting success. With Elk Hunting you'll learn how to scout and recognize the places most likely to hold elk. Details the proper equipment to use, such as rifles, calls, optics and accessories.

Features special sections that cover elk hunting with bow and muzzleloader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overall primer, October 14, 2005
By 
This review is from: Elk Hunting (The Complete Hunter) (Hardcover)
This book covers the subject thoroughly yet is very short and readable for the person who just wants to scan its pages for an overview. Subjects covered include hunt planning, elk behavior, clothing and equipment, physical conditioning, field dressing and packing out the meat, recipes, and others. The author is very experienced and it shows. I have looked at a number of books about elk hunting but I think this one is the best. I plan to take it with me into the mountains this fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read for a DIY Hunt, May 31, 2007
By 
Sherrill Philip (Millersville, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elk Hunting (The Complete Hunter) (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding book on Elk Hunting. It provides a lot of information in a few pages (~128 pages) and is definitely worth having. This is one of the first books I read when I prepared for my first Elk hunt in 2005. This was a "do it yourself" trip. I did another last year and am going again this year. Of the many books on Elk hunting that I have read, I still refer to this book as I get ready to go.

2.0 out of 5 stars "What's an elk?", October 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Elk Hunting (The Complete Hunter) (Hardcover)
Perfect book for someone who has zero experience with elk hunting. I've picked up a couple of bits of info from it, but it's not going to change the way you move throught the woods. Happy hunting!
