Looking for a little experienced advice! I will be going on a unguided drop camp elk hunt during the first rifle season in NW Colorado. Other than the obvious things what are some items that a first time elk hunter should bring on this type of hunt?

I just received the packet from my outfitter and it says there will be a fifty pound pack limit per hunter. Seems kinda light so I dont want to take anything that wont be necessary.


P.S.
Any advice that will help my chances of success are also welcome! I am from the Southeast and have hunted everything there is to hunt in this part of the country with pretty good success (deer, turkey, hogs, etc.)but I realize that the terrain and the animals are completely differentout West. I dont know if it is healthy to be this excited about something that wont be here 'til October!!!!
