The elk can smell a fart at 2-3 miles. It's no issues for the herd to move 10-20km in one night. Normally they stick to their 2-4km raidius in the rut.
I don't think a spike camp would benefit you. Your not hiking to the top of a mountian at day break.
But it is pretty wicked to sleep under the stars with bugles echoing through the valleys and wake up within 200m of the herd. No fires, no real food, just a sleeping roll and the rifle.
