Put up a bear fence around your camp try to hunt with two people and alway assume there is a grizzle near you meaning always be alert carry bear spray ,bear banger at night if packing meat out leave the rifle at camp and use a 12 gauge shotgun using 3 inch slugs and SSG get a North star light that has the red dot to put at the end of the barrow of the shotgun. Have hiegpowered head lamps as well to see good at night.

Hunting Elk Is All About Finding Them ,If You Can't Find Them Keep Trying ..
I like these tips ! I think if it’s only 2 of you one for sure carries the 12 gauge while he has his rifle strapped to his pack . While packing out a large moose one year and several trips back and forth to get all in the truck we left a Coleman white gas lamp burning hung near the downed moose .

I read in a pat Ferguson book to leave your sweaty shirt or underwear hanging from a stick so your smell is present. I’ve only had to leave 1 animal over night , can’t tell from experience if this works or not. Seemed to work for him all those years.

Not underwear but we have joked about it, used the T-shirt twice. The first time we were up a hill looking back at where we just gutted a moose, watched the bear sneak up on it then turn and run away. He did this about 6 times then disappeared. When we got back 3 hours later he was still there the moose untouched. As a bonus he packed a nice trail between the moose and the beaver pond where we got the canoe up to.
No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.
Killed a moose up the Muskwa. Packed out half of it over night with two buddies back to our camp. We put our sweaty t shirts and clothes on the rack and around to rest of the meat before we left. Pretty sure we pissed around the area too. Went back early in the morning with guns loaded and approached slowly on very high alert. The only critter on the carcass was a Martin. He must of thought he won meat lottery! Not saying our method worked but it's something and we did stink pretty bad. I think if I was to kill another big critter and had the time. I would pack up the meat in game bags and take at least a few hundred yards away from carcass. I would put it somewhere open and where I could see it the next morning when coming back in. Even somewhere u could glass down onto it. I would still again leave some clothes behind. The long branch with the flag is a great idea as well. I would do that for sure if I could. Especially in thick bush. Having a ragging fire can keep animals away too if you can get a good one going where u are. Great post. My new elk spot if full of Grizz. Have them on my trail cams.
I love to hunt rocky mt elk
