Jeremie,
Do you have horses? They are your ticket into that area. Very steep and rugged. If you are backpacking, it will take 1 day to pack in, that's the easy part. Mountains go straight up from there. If you get an elk down it will take 3 days with 2 guys to pack him out. I now this for a fact.
I have been hunting that area for 11 years, usually every september for bulls. Elk are scattered and they move a lot. It has taken us 6 years to really learn that area, still learning. Deer are very rare in those areas. NEVER shot at one, seen a couple of good bucks (150-160 class).
The elk used to be very good in there. From what I have heard and seen. there are 2 wolf packs, one in Lick creek (elk winter ground) and one around Norton peaks, check your maps,just north of Baker. I think they have taken there toll. We used to see 15/20 bulls and 100 cows per year in there, now down to last years all time low of 4 bulls and 30 cows, in 15 days of hunting, totally sucked. There was a group of 9 cows with no bulls on Sept 22nd and a group of 5 cows and no bulls on the 25th. WTF. Did see 1 six-point that would go 260 class. I never had a chance.
I think this will be my last year in there to take out our camp and find another area to learn. If I were you I would look elsewhere that is better. Wolves have definately infected that area. There sign is everywhere and howling is a couple times a week. It makes me sick. I love the area and it's remoteness. Lots of good memories up there.
If you hunt it, I will be on channel 1. THere usually isn't anyone else who hunts up there, too damn tough to hunt and learn. We got lucky and found an old timer who helped us out.
Hope this helps you
Scott
