AZ Early Bull Elk Equipment

[rickscottsdale]

I was drawn for the coveted early Bull tag. I was going to use my archery setup until I found out how much further the muzzleloader will shoot. No rifles on this hunt.
I need to purchase equipment and most of what I have found in AZ is Thompson Center, however after reading this forum I am leaning towards the Savage.
What is the best setup for Elk?
I have never owned or shot a muzzleloader.
