Your trip sounds very similar to what I have planned. I am taking my son for his graduation present. We will spend a month together in the backcountry, as in reality the likelihood he and I will ever get another chance to huntthat long together again are likely slim. Im retired, hes getting out of school and will be either joining the workforce, or the armed forces.

We will pack in a base camp a mile or so off the trailhead, and backpack/bivy 2-4 day loops in deep from there. Im training my butt off, hes a smart teen who says he can run circles around the old man as is. I'll leave him huffin and puffin if I have to LOL. Tough love doesnt stop at the trailhead!

This isnt my first elk hunt, it will be my 5th. All with a bow,one with wheels years ago, the rest with a longbow. Havent killed one yet, had several good opp's but thats huntin!

The trip, the expeiencing truly wild places up close, and testing your outdoors skills and woodsmanship are what its all about.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

I'm almost 60, not in the best of shape after 24 years in the military, (I retired in '94) 1994 that is! I ELK/Muley hunt Idaho every year for the past 11 years. Lots of places you elk hunt (where there are ELK) and NOT kill yourself! I walk daily with a 15lb pack not and will work my way up to 30lbs, key is don't overdo it when you start.
