Default Necessities for the first elk hunt.

I have a number of questions about this trip this fall. I' d like to ask a bunch of stuff, but don' t want to seem to stupid as to what I' m doing. I am trying to acquire as much knowlege as possible for this trip.

I know I can find basic stuff with old posts. Specifically, in SW colorado, what type of dangerous game might we come across? Bear, Mointain Lion etc. Is their a need, or rather, would it be advised to carry a handgun along as well on this hunt? Does Colorado offer resiprosity (sp) for concealed carry?

I know I will need a frame pack, sleeping bag etc. and I know the outfitter will provide a list of things that are necessary, but any advise for me would be great. Looking back on your first hunt, what is the one thing that you wish someone would have told you to bring with? I' m sure I' ll have more questions as time goes by, but thanks in advance.

Ryan
