We're going rifle for our first time. Out of me, dad and my brother we will bring a 1 bow just in case they got a bull that done lost his mind.

I go skiing just about every year, so been at that altitude. Trying to warn my dad and brother, tt has a bad effect on me.

Plan on bringing 30-06 with good optics, spotting scopes, shooting sticks.

My dad is the best deer hunter I know but I'm not big into big game. But we've never tried to chase elk across the rocky mountains so not sure what to expect.
