If memory serves, I normally carry the following:
Optics – Binos, Zeiss Terra 10x32; Spotter (if taken), Vortex Razor 11X33X50.
Electronics – GPS, old school Lowrance (15ish years old and still kicking); Rangefinder, Sig Sauer Kilo 1250.
Navigation – Brunton Compass, maps for area(s) hunted.
Well, what's in your elk pack for optics, electronics, and navigation?

Rangefinder: Leica Rangemaster 1200
GPS: Garmin E-trex or Garmin Map 60C, OnX Cell Phone App, InReach Explorer
Always a Compass & Maps, which get used often.
I usually keep the GPS off, and use maps. Only turn on the GPS in the evenings walking back to camp in the dark.
