First camp at 6.5? So that really means you’re hunting 5-9 miles in. Personally I think that’s a poor idea solo. You’re gonna hike past plenty of elk country in 6.5 miles. I’d focus on being more mobile and hunting the herds, not being in a specific camp.
Say you shoot a bull 8 miles in, that’s 16 miles a load, X4, 64 miles in a couple of days.
Being solo I’d hunt a drainage every day or two. That’s a lot better than claiming a spot 6.5 miles in and riding on that.
