You are getting WAY to excited about this hunt. Sit back & think about it for a minute. You can find the elk on a 10,000 acre private ranch the first day by yourself. I am sure there will be a hired hand that will take you to the elk?
Heck you are lucky most non-residents at this time do not even know for sure there exact hunting location. You have yours pegged down to 10,000-acres. You can also be sure of one thing, of the 10,000-acres I bet only 25% to 50% at max is what you call prime elk habitat. That narrows your search down before you even start.

Good Luck, Relax & have a Great Hunt.
