Never done the hunt but I've backpacked across it and floated the S fork a couple of times. My friends who have been successful there seem to base their success on covering a lot of ground on horses. Once you find elk, they don't seem to be that hard to kill considering they are rutting. They are not everywhere though, and it seems like locating a pocket of them is the hard part. I have taken one elk right on the fringe of the bob. I'd love to do that hunt someday but it's a big commitment. If I were getting dropped in there I guess I'd want to be pretty high up and in a spot with a lot of potential to glass and be mobile enough to move to the next drainage If I wasn't seeing anything.
