I know that is not ideal but you have to start somewhere. I will be hunting with friends too. I have muzzle loader deer tag, and rifle elk tag. Yes, we are avid hikers and I am also on SWAT team, my hunting gun will be remington 700 police( so physical part doesn't bother me).

This is a bad plan. Why didn't you hunt with your friends who I assume have hunting experience?
Are you, and wife in good enough shape to haul out the meat from a bull elk from the mountains? Your hunt starts in a month.
My best advice is to turn in your muzzleloader tag, but an OTC tag, and hunt with your buddies.
