If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. 1 week is not enough time to hunt elk 1st time without a guide. 2-3 weeks will definitely bring the meat home if you go without a guide. I would plan for the first 3 weeks in September. Do not worry about weather. Get a good sleeping bag, hat and socks as it goes down to 32F at night while at midday is 70F.
