i have an open invitation from my uncle who lives in Colorado that when i'm ready and can get a tag, he's ready to be my "guide" and has all the gear we need since he/ his kids hunt, but i need to practice more before i take advantage of that type of opportunity. Are you all bow hunting? or gun? if i went after elk with my current skillset it'd be gun.

I go out in 3rd rifle. I let my buddy who guides me hunt during the rut since that is his favorite time to hunt them. I mean yes, I would love to chase them with a bow some day but honestly the experience being out west in those mountains is amazing in itself. Also, since I fly I don't take a gun. I shoot his 7mm mag so traveling is as easy as it gets. One carry on and away I go.

I go with a bow, nothing wrong with chasing them with a gun to gain experience. Tough critters that need to be hit good with a bow.
