Scouting for a backpack hunt

[LLee]

Me and my buddy have an Elk hunt coming up at the end of the year. We plan on back packing Northern AZ . Just wanna here what everyone takes scouting and have some dialog.

I to have a Elk tag in Az this year and have been scouting. I just bring my day pack, but when I scout for my back country spots I always bring extra water and drop it at or close to area's that I will be later. That way i don't have to worry about water when the hunt starts.

I?m planning OTC archery elk in either ID or CO. Thinking of a scouting trip 2nd or 3rd week of August 






How do you stash your water? And what type of container do you like?
