Thats the problem, I've already googled it and there are tons of books out there. I was looking for a recomendation from someone who liked a particular book, etc..

Hey behemoth......if you want a book that covers EVERYTHING on moose including hunting; have a look at this one. There are reviews of the book further down the page.

There is also a similar one on elk......

I have the book and it covers all sorts of topics......I 'may be' a bit biased as my Dad wrote a few of the chapters including the hunting one....and....there is a pic of 'your truly' in the book as well. ;)

In all honesty though it is very comprehensive as is the elk one.

By your screen-name I am going to assume that yer Pa is Dr. Moose, aka the "The Man who would be Moose".

Neat dude. We consult with him on logging in MB...I have not met him yet, but our biologist has a lot of respect for his work.

ps: the book is excellent. I have a copy of it at the office, along with both editions of the similar Elk Management book. Great stuff.

Ya.....he's been looking at getting it removed along with his "scapula hand". :-? They were thinking a deer head transplant may be a little bit less noticeable? :wink:

I find the best knowledge is to go out and be apart of the elk family ,spend time out there learning there everyday living ,you will learn more by doing this then any book you buy :).
