When
J. Y. Jones decided to write a book on elk hunting, he
went to the most reliable source for information—professional
elk guides and outfitters. He asked the experts careful questions
on how best to hunt elk. This book is the result of his painstaking
research and extensive interviews. Jones carefully selected
twelve outfitters and guides from the Southwest desert to
the Pacific coast with the Rocky Mountains of the United
States and Canada in between, making sure he covered guides
for every type of elk terrain and both major types of elk.
He chose long-term elk guides who have almost three hundred
years of combined guiding experience. To these men he posed
questions such as, “What is the most common mistake
elk hunters make?” and “What caliber should the
elk hunter use?” Together with dozens more questions,
the reader will get some of the most insightful thoughts
and ideas on elk hunting tactics, elk behavior, best techniques,
and elk lore that has ever been put into one book. All interviews
are lengthy, and the answers are detailed. In these pages
you will find literally centuries of experience in hunting
elk, something you cannot find in a dozen other elk-hunting
books combined. Who has not read endless repetition from
self-proclaimed “authorities” on hunting everything
from rabbits to grizzly bears? Elk are hard to get and
tough to hunt, so you need every edge you can get, and
in Ask the Elk Guides you will get more answers and ideas
from the real experts then you are likely to acquire in
a lifetime of hunting on your own.
