Elk Hunting Books?

[barracudamuscle]

Good Afternoon,

I've done some searching but haven't found exactly what I was looking for. Being hunting wasn't in my family I'm self teaching myself. What are some good books to purchase for a beginner to get some good ideas on behavior, needs and various factors that effect the amazing elusive Elk?

So far I've found Elknuts playbook which I think I will pickup in the near future. Not sure how much calling will help me in a mid November hunt in Colorado unit 444 for a cow but it never hurts to learn more skills to add to the tool box.

Thanks for your time,
Pat

I'll pass on a suggestion I received here earlier: North American Elk - Ecology and Management, edited by Dale Toweill and Jack Ward Thomas.

Well, you've already mentioned Elknuts Playbook.
Elk Hunting The West by Mike Eastman is a good one.
