KC covered it well! Some of our Colorado elk crew comes from VA and AL. We have hunted the same ranch for 15 years ( me 13) and total expenses run about $3,500 each, less if you share transportation. I figure I spend a little less with one day less on the road both directions with me coming from Washington State. That includes elk and deer or cow elk tag. I think a single species hunt could be pulled off for $2500 and not much less. I don’t do backcountry camping anymore at my age. Comfort is good, game harvest is a plus. Happy Trails
