You can also look into doing a DIY Drop camp with your own gear. I did this my first elk hunt, coming from the east never been hiking with a full pack at altitude etc etc... I found a unit I wanted to hunt and just called guide after guide until I found one who was willing to take us in on horse & drop us off at a spot that I personally picked out. I Packed up my exo, got on the horse and was at the location I wanted to be in no time. Saved me the hassle of packing in, especially saved a ton of leg power & time. I had camp set and was out hunting that evening, moved camp a few miles on day 4. It was an awesome time and enjoyable hunt doing it that way and we humped it out ourselves back to the truck on day 9. I'm glad I chose the horse ride in for my first hunt. Having our own gear was a huge role in our hunt, if we were stuck in a traditional wall tent, we would have not been into elk like we were, unless we wanted to hike 3.5 hours in the dark each AM and back in the PM just to get remotely close to where the elk were. I'm glad I chose to bring our on gear, if not and we paid all that money for a regular wall tent drop camp - It is very easy to get a shit spot in my opinion. Since then I just pack in myself but for the first time, it was little money well spent for just a horse ride in to your self picked location. Most of all have fun and I would shoot the first legal elk. Good luck on your decision & hunt.
