Both myself and FIL got drawn for bull elk this year. Got a calf elk two years ago there.
My advise:

Stay away from me
In all seriousness though, check the fields. You will honestly not even see the elk and then all of the sudden they will be on top of you.
Two years ago, I got mine in a field, and a buddy of mine got a 6x6 the very next day 20 feet away from my gut pile.. so don’t be afraid to go to the same place as a kill, it just means that they are in that area and you are hot on the trail!
I guess I should probably brush up on my calling techniques lol
Best of luck! I will be out there opening day of bow season!
