5.0 out of 5 stars First class read for every elk hunter, September 2, 2005
By James Houston "Jay Houston" (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fellow author and elk hunter I try to read everything I can get my hands on, on the subject of elk and elk hunting. Theodore Roosevelt said," People who love the outdoors should be omnivorous readers. If so, they have the best of two worlds. They learn more-and enjoy life more."
Bob Robb's, The Ultimate Guide to Elk Hunting is a must read for elk hunters of all skill levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Guide to Elk Hunting, May 11, 2009
Ok now we are talking about a book with information and with the few years I have under my belt they told the truth. Yes hunting is not for sure or 100% but the information shared was well worth the price of the book. More in depth which I was looking for and would love to sit around the camp fire and jaw with these guys they have a list of knowledge that one could tap. Picked up some great tips to help shorten the learning curve but also when something happens to you the answers to why may be answered when you think of what you read. As they say that is what makes hunting elk so much fun it is totally a challenge specially when you are an archer. Good Job!
