blacktailchaser you are probably right. It was probably articles and not books.

Not an answer to your question on books, but on YouTube the Rocky Mtn Elk Foundation uploaded Elk Fever, Elk Fever II, and Elk Fever III with Larry Jones and Dwight Schuh from 1986.  They are worth a look.

 The elk write a good book, the best elk hunters I know spent a lot of time out with the elk. Winter is a good time to read elk in eastern Oregon.  Western Oregon most likely has some good spots to glass and start reading the book. It's a blast.
