YOu shouldnt have trouble finding elk. I live an hour from this unit an its a very good unit. As far as the late archery I wouldnt know but I had the same late archery tag in a bordering unit an killed a 360 bull. Ur unit produces monsters every year. In this hunt bulls will be pretty easy to pattern. They eat an bed an repeat. Find a good place to glass an ambush. be patient, hunt hard an you should have oppurtunities. Good luck
