Thank you all for the replies, it's very much appreciated.
I did not plan to bring an in reach or similar product. But the messages here have convinced me, so I bought an inreach messenger and will activate my monthly subscription ASAP (Hunting is expensive!). I'm planning on being safe and...
Thanks for the call out on a tripod for my binoculars. Didn't have one but will now.
I will look into a bear tag. To be honest I've never really had a desire to hunt one, but that's mainly because in my area it's typically over bait and I'm not too interested in that.

My first ever elk hunt last year. Unfortunately really high temps and only saw two bulls the entire week on the last day of my season. Still an incredible experience in awesome country.
