Elk Hunting advice
TimBo:
That is one sweet view! Good luck. Elk hunting is on my life list, but I have to wait until I retire to do it (September is not a month you can take off in the teaching bidness). Good excuse to stay in shape I suppose...
Hawkdancer:
Those views start as soon as you start up the canyons! My guess is those snow covered ridges are about 30-40 miles off! An elk hunt is not a thing to tackle by yourself, unless you can set up in a very accessible place, and you have a power winch on the truck! A come along at the least! Even a quartered cow can go close to 300# or more , a big bull up to 500! Remember, too, the "elk math" theory applies - "one guy 33, and one guy 66 does not equal 3 guys 33"! >:D. Been there - done that! Took us 2 days to get a bull out 1/2 mile from the road, mostly up hill! Packing in, expect to work hard, both ways! Have a safe and successful hunt!

Travel size Gold Bond powder. And its not for your feet but your nether regions. You will be glad you brought it. Wished I was home to go over my list but I am not. If it is OK I will post as I think.
Grab a good stick for hiking when you get there. For the down hills as much as the up hills.
osage outlaw:
I know what you mean about the powder JEB. I was looking at those trekking poles that fold up and store in your pack when you don't need them.
