Book Description In his latest book about the intracies of elk hunting, author Mike Lapinski deals specifically with common problems today's elk hunters face. Why a new book by the creator of the aggressive "radical elk hunting concept, a technique advanced in another earlier book titled "High Pressure Elk Hunting"? Let's quote from the Introduction to his new book: "No matter how much we prepare ourselves, an elk has a way of altering our best-laid plans. A bull may hang up and come in silently, or slip away without notice." In 15 chapters and more than 80 photographs, Lapinski writes about the evolving nature of his radical elk hunting concept, about peak rut elk calling, new and experimental elk hunting methods, and wasted opportunities that doom an elk hunt. He also writes about solving the problems of early-season hunting, a hung-up bull, a retreating bull, the silent bull, special problems regarding the herd bull, set-up and ambush problems, proper shot selection, and finding elk after the shot.
