You should be able to get close enough with your bow. How many days are you hunting? Last year 4 of us archers were tagged out in 4 days, all with two bulls. Spent the last 3 days fishing and hiking. It was the best hunt I have been on. My dad shared the same sentiment and he has been going on big game hunts for 30 years. You will love it! The animals are even more impressive than I ever imagined, and the terrain is just spectacular. DO NOT forget at least knee high rubber boots. Glass from the ridge tops, see where they are headed and get ahead of them. Their sense of smell either isn't as good as deer and elk, or they don't know what human smells like because they never picked me up when I thought they would have. Use the small elevation changes in the terrain to sneak up on them if you are hunting an open area. Their hearing is amazing so walk slowly and creep up on them. Don't give up on the bow, you may strike out a few times but keep after it and eventually you will figure them out. It is a hunt you will never forget.
