Terrain and altitude and attitude are of concern depending on the specie hunted. I would always recommend a DIY hunt but I don't know if I would want to be dragging the wife and kid chasing elk in the unknown not knowing where they may lead you. Deer hunting and antelope hunting are hunts that you can set your own pace at and less strenuoious(sp?) than elk hunting. Take the wife and kid and do some homework on hunting stats and terrain cheqeing and if nothing esle, you all will see a lot of game and a good time spent with the family. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
