An Elk Hunting Book Adds to Your Knowledge Base

A good elk hunting book is valuable. When a seasoned elk hunter shares his hard–earned, time-proven wisdom in a book, all you have to do is relax and digest it. Then you can put it into practice without having to learn it the hard way. Of course, like anything else, book learning is impractical, until you start putting it into practice in elk country, then the experiences shared with you begin to take shape and come to life. (See book list below.)

The off-season, especially winter time, is a great time to spend reading an elk hunting book. Some of us like to end the day at hunting camp falling asleep reading a good hunting book by fire or lantern glow.

There is always more to learn about elk hunting. A good elk hunting book should be entertaining, as well as instructive. It should include real life elk hunting stories woven through it.

If you can’t picture it in your mind from the way it is told on page, the book may not be that helpful. Following is a list of some books that we have read (the first eight) or, those that are on our to-read list. We have linked each one to a good description of the book for you. Some we have linked to our own reviews after reading them.

We will add more to the list, but you can do a search at AbeBooks for “Elk” or “Elk Hunting” by clicking here. You will find lots of elk hunting books. Many of them are available for less than two bucks! You can also search by title for elk hunting books, of course.
