Haha hey guys! Let's calm it down a bit! I was asking for people's opinions to help with my planning process! I don't need opinions of other people's opinions!

I do appreciate all the feedback though from everyone! I am looking into all possible options.

On the one hand, I am a go-getter and would love to attempt an elk kill 100% DIY with my bow. On the other hand, I have my dad to plan for as well. His age complicates things a little bit! While I am in my prime and would have no issue wandering around in with wilderness somewhere for a couple weeks, my dad is interested in having a little more help.

One thing I am looking into now is kind of a middle ground. Self-guided hunt through an outfitter. I can get the scouting report I would be unable to have through the outfitter along with lodging, food, and game processing (all of which are important to my dad) and still have the DIY element that I desire.

I am still looking!! And definitely still reading all the advice on here!

Keep it together guys! We are all on the same team here!

Thanks for the support,

Nick
