There are several lakes/ponds and several creeks within a couple miles hike from where we will be camping. Do elk seem to have a preference of one over the other? I know one of the creeks has a very high mineral content and tastes like absolute crap, but will this have an effect on whether or not the elk will use it? I'm just guessing they don't have much of a preference but if they did it would obviously help me prioitize the scouting of water holes in the area.
