I've been elk hunting Colorado and Wyoming since 2013. Personally I've been unsuccessful but a few in my party have gotten an elk. I've never bow hunted elk so I can't say much to that but I can tell you that being a good hiker will go a long way. I've hunted Freeman Reservoir several times out of shape. One year, (2016), I had gotten in really good shape and it was a world of difference being able to move around as I pleased without being worn out.

Outside of that, be prepared for an early snow in case it happens and we take trash bags with us to pack the meat out in if we kill something.

I'm sure you're already aware of dealing with bears and general camping guidelines if you've already spent some time out there.

Good Luck!

I just got back from turkey hunting in Montana and elk sign everywhere! Lots of trails from beds to crop fields. I would try to find these areas and maybe intercept them looking for cows. Enjoy the hunt!

You recommend bear mace or a pistol?
