best elk hunting books/videos
« on: July 10, 2017, 04:30:00 PM »
I am going to begin my elk adventures the hard way in 2018 by just packing in a spending time in their world. But I don't want to go in completely blind...What, if any, are good instructional books or videos that might help a traditional bowhunter begin understanding elk hunting. "A Man Made of Elk" by Dave Petersen seems like a good one to start with. Any other resources yall can think of?

Elk101.com has helped me quite a bit.
 Also if you haven't joined RMEF yet you might want to consider that. Their magazine Bugle has some good info too.
 As always, YouTube is a good resource as well.

Elk Nut has a great book on calling technique for different situations. You might give it a try.

Montanan Mike Lapinski has several books out on elk hunting. Very good, I think.

"A Man Made of Elk" is an enjoyable read.     :thumbsup:    
The Lapinski books have some good information too.

It sounds like I am going to have to look into this Elk Nut book too.
