I wasn't even paying attention when he said he was bow hunting. Ouch. That's going to be VERY tough. I definitely agree with the decision to go regardless though. The money on the tags is probably money thrown away, but it should still be a good experience.

Ah heck, I say go for it! But, plan on it being more of a backpacking/camping trip than an actual hunt. Take your rifles in case you get lucky, but at this point, that's really what you're counting on - pure, blind luck. However, you'll get to familiarize yourself with the area, with elk country, and know what to expect later when you return better prepared.
Take your rifles in case you get lucky?? You get lucky playing the lottery! You get lucky, in a bar!!! You don't get lucky in bow season with a rifle!!!
