When we packed in we usually made at least 2 trips,35# is a lot on your back especially if you are going uphill, What I do is make a list of the camping essentials and take that in first (leave Bow etc in truck). Set up camp next day go back and get some more gear. Archery hunt should not require more than 20# of clothes,pack light very light. some folks even cut off the handles on there tooth brush. Have hunters share equipment if possible. Bone out the meat. Its going to be hard work but it is elk hunting.
If you think you can walk away from hunters you can't. They will be all over. even in the wilderness area's.
