Excerpt:

Before we move on to serious hunting strategy, let's take a closer look at the animals we're chasing. Elk are members of the deer family-along with white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose and caribou-and they originated roughly forty million years ago. . .

These former inhabitants of the open plains are herd animals and, therefore, very sociable. Cows and calves are rarely alone except for a few weeks in the spring when cows give birth. Even bulls are usually found in "bachelor groups," except in the fall when they're in rut and competing for females.
