It’s a private land herd hunt...You’re likely able to go in fairly light with possible amenities provided with the hunt...Like downed elk retrieval, gutting, skinning inside a barn or shop...Chunk cutting of your meat and wrapping with cold storage to hold your meat until you leave.
Proper clothes, boots, etc...Capacity to handle your rifle out to 350-400 yards. I’ve heard some outfits won’t allow a customer to take a shot passed a predetermined distance.
Several coolers for your trip home and a good way to secure your meat in the truck from theft when you stop for rest at a hotel/motel. Yes, ass-hats will steal not only your gear, but meat, cape and horns if your bull shooting.
Take cash for a tip to your guide and meat packers, etc..
Never done one of these type of hunts, know several who have. It’s a great way to put meat in your freezer.
Have fun!

Another way to haul meat that far is put a small chest freezer in the back of a pickup or trailer. A generator or plugging it in at night at a motel will keep it cool enough to get home. Keep it covered and tarped as moving air will warm it up.
