4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hunt Elk (Hardcover)

A very good overview of the sport from one of the masters. Very well written and well organized. While most of the material remains fresh, the book is looking dated as newer developments in the field (artificial scents, etc.) are not explored.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginners Guide, July 5, 2007

This review is from: Hunt Elk (Hardcover)

I bought this book wanting to learn about elk and elk hunting from a beginner's standpoint - I was not disappointed. Perhaps a bit too basic for some hunters, this book is a great guide for getting started in elk hunting. Inclusive of most areas of concern beginning hunters might have when starting a quest for elk (rifles, where to go, tactics, etc.), it doesn't offer deep analysis of any one topic but rather offers a framework from which to build upon with other books. Overall a great read despite Mr. Zumbo's recent folly regarding his anti-gun statements.
