If someone wants to pay for a guided trip, then I will guide them in these mountains. And though we may setup base camp at this camp in question. We probably won't spend more than a day or two at this camp, if there isn't any elk in the immediate area.

We would load up the packs, grab the bivy gear, including a cold-weather sleeping bag, we would lace up our boots, and we would hammer our feet going out looking for elk. It may be uncomfortable at times, we may get a little wet, we may get a little cold. But we would leave it all on the table. We won't come back on the last day of the hunt and wonder "did we do everything we could do to kill a bull" That question would be answered with a resounding 'YES'.
