Sounds like a one time hunt. You would save yourself alot of trouble by using an outfitter, there are lots of good ones out there. You can go guided or a do it yourself drop camp if you want a little more of a challenge. Guided will get on horseback and save alot of walking with the added bonus of thier knowledge of the hunting area and experience. A drop camp gives you all the gear such as tent, stove, cooking gear, cots and they pack all your gear, food etc in and out of camp. Most will give you advice on hunting the area you're in, and most important of all they're going topack out your elk if you're successful. Search on line, ask alot of questions and ask for references.
Important to ask if they're "high fence"(game farms) or fair chase and decide which will fit your needs.

My choice is fair chase, much more rewarding at the end of the day.

Good Luck, Rob
