I posted in your other thread, but will repeat it here:
I missed a chance at a whopper about 15 years ago in Bear Creek. There are low numbers, but good trophy potential. Tracking could work in addition to glassing. The WMA is winter range for elk, and sees a lot of elk, and elk hunters in the late season. There can be deep snow in the wilderness there. I believe camping is allowed on the WMA. Be prepared for snow and cold.
Good luck.
