I hunted the unit in 2013, but more importantly I scouted it for 3 years prior to my hunt waiting for the points. If you don't take the time to scout it, you are really missing out on the most enjoyable aspect of that unit. Elk acting like unpressured elk all summer. I'm not going to tell you where to hunt, you can earn that on your own. I will say the previous comments ring pretty true in my experience, no shortage of sub 300 bulls. Over 320 seemed very few and far between. I was luck and took a 365 well above tree line, but in all those years of scouting I never saw a bull the same size.
I returned to the unit a couple years ago to help a friend of a friend pack out a bull. It was a nice 6 for Colorado, but I was startled about how few elk were in the area I had previously hunted. No joke, I was just amazed that the area wasn't crawling with elk anymore. I talked to a guide I bumped into who was packing out a client's bull and he made mention that the winter before there was a major harvest at low elevation due to weather. I didn't have time to verify his assessment and haven't been back to really scout the area since. However, if you get the tag you should invest the time to learn the area you are going to hunt. You might not glass up the biggest bull in the area until the rut, but you can learn all the sheep trails and sneaks to get to where the elk are or where they are going. The other take away for me was how uninterested the bulls were in elk talk and I assume this is because there is elk talk going on non stop in that area all the time even in the summer before it gets too hot.
