Thanks for the help!

On the east slopes of the Livingston Range (ie. east of "the gap" you still have a mix of crown and private land. Generally you're ok if your on the north side of the Oldman River but please consult a map to be sure. iHunter app for your smartphone is good for this. 402 is almost exclusively crown.
There are good elk numbers in 402 (and probably 308 too). As others have said, you'll be disappointed if you simply hunt the roads or glass from your vehicle. This year, OHV's are not allowed in Bob Creek either. 402 is especially popular with hunters and OHV enthusiasts, and the combined pressure pushes the game to the fringes and hard to access areas. This year, there have been active logging crews along the FTR as well, which has probably increased the pressure further. A horse or a good set of boots and some motivation will get you back there though.
Best of luck.
