    Leaving gear in bush for latter hunt?

    Looking at doing a early spring/summer sheep scouting a spot out , thinking of leaving some gear for latter date hunt. What would you guys leave either in a bear proof container or in a waterproof bag . Leaving it tied in tree so bears shouldnt get to it . What type of gear would you your self leave ?

    I would mostly be worried about 2-legged coyotes finding it.

    Hmmm only done this stash and cash once or twice..for 2 very different reasons.made getting out much faster and easier..and the gear was safe both times both times water proof bags tied high between trees..both times spring grizz..lol beat the bears out of bed..
    But had to say..concerned with leaving gear out..
    Used Cabelas dry bags.

    Lots of the old trappers used cream cans. Lids fit tight, with a little cotton rag or tarpaper the lids need to be pounded on and off with a axe. Seen them on the ground a rolled around a bit but never seen one a bear got into.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    I'd use 5g buckets. Seal up nicely and take weight fine. Also easy to make it look like a tree with good camo

    Done this many times, and it makes a ton of sense. Done this for elk hunting especially because where we chase elk it is pack in only. Food in the non-smelly variety is what we cache. I mean freeze dried packets and freddy-chef ex military meals that give off no odour. Heavy shit like 6 extra rounds, and in certain sheep locales tons of water. Hope this helps lil blue pill productions.
