Most stories about elk hunts gone wrong are because hunters were scented or busted by game. So keep bacterial-caused odors (such as body odor) and non-bacterial odors (such as food-borne odors) to a minimum, and be mindful of wind direction. A windchecker for noting wind currents works well. The windchecker puts out a fine mist of odorless powder that enables a hunter to see air currents up to 15 feet away.
