Well, I would disagree with that. The problem is, if you want to hunt the same spot tomorrow you're looking at a 12-mile round trip to do it. And using a lot of time hiking back and forth when you could be hunting. If you camp 6 miles in, hunting 8 miles in is a breeze. If you camp at the trailhead that's a 16-mile daily roundtrip.

Anyone who can climb 14-ers can manage a backpack hunt. You should consider trying one, you never now, you might like it.
