Im still here fellas. Thanks for all the replies. I think we will use a motel this year and drive in each morning.
I am fully aware that elk hunting is more daunting etc. That's why I have been reading about it for years and have never gone.
I'm not new to hunting. We have plenty of cold weather clothing etc. December in iowa is plenty cold when we are deer hunting. I was more concerned about the reality of camping etc. That time of year.
Getting stuck in the snow in my truck would not be good of course. Thanks for all the tips.
