I would add that it would be beneficial to have some elk present on a back country elk hunt.

This place I am hunting my grandfather scouts it during summer and September for his rifle hunts and and has said there are plenty of elk there. I know in this area he has shot 14 in the last 15 years out of there but after reading I see that they can change patterns and change mountains easily which is also another reason why I want to keep my back to the essentials and light as possible.

Guys I appreciate all the help. I'm taking all of y'alls post for count and adding the information to my notebook.
