How much scouting have you done, have you even ever hunted the area?

I think you have to earn this one on your own. Get in the woods and burn some boot leather.

bethel is imo the best elk unit in the state... That doesn't mean you will see elk from the road every time you drive a road in bethel...  However, if you look at a map and find the largest area without a road in the unit and start walking, you will find elk.  I walked about three miles before killing the bull in my avatar.
Good luck!

The state must be predicting a harshe winter. Have you seen the bales of feed at the feed station on hwy12?

Finding a cow in bethel should be easy. Get off the road at least a mile, and you should start running into them. Sometimes if the terrain is nasty enough you don't even have to go that far.

Just shoot one off the highway. Saw 40 this morning during shooting light and 6 more during the day today in the bethel unit.

I've sat next to trees, to take a rest, and have watched them fed up next to my feet.

Go to the top and start looking around the tops of creek basins.
