I did a quick search but only went 5 pages in so forgive me if this has been addressed...Anyone reccomend any good books / DVD's / resources specific to COW elk hunting? Thanks for any help.

Cow elk hunting is elk hunting. The "when" is more important than the "how". You can call them in with lost calf calls and herd conversation, sometimes they will come to bugles during the rut, but mainly they just do what elk do as the conditions and season timing dictate.

I once called a herd of 24 cows off a private ranch for a woman I was guiding during late rifle season. I struck up a conversation with the lead cow, and talked them all the way in. Another time I (we) "called" in a lone cow for my now-wife who heard us crunching through snow and ran out of the timber to us, thinking we were a herd.

Learn about elk hunting and you will learn how to hunt cows.

Thanks for the response. This will be year 3 in the elk woods for me, I’m a little late to the elk hunting party. I tend to overthink things, too so good to know elk hunting is elk hunting basically.
