Free: Contests & Raffles.
Do the right thing and shoot a spike.....with eye guards.....and hoof rot. Or a rag horn with one side busted off. Should be pretty good eating. You can always draw that tag again in 20 years or so. A buddy and I seen several big bulls up there after last season, a couple monsters, but you probably don't want to hold out for one of them. The meat would be all tuff and you would have to dust off the head mount for the rest of your life, what a pain. I'm sure you'll have a fun hunt, good luck.
I use to spend a ton of time in the Margaret in the summer and in september looking at elk. If I had your tag I would hold out for a 6x6 in the 280" range. I can count on one hand how many bulls over 300" I have seen in that unit. If score doesn't matter you can see some huge old bulls with 8 or 9 points aside that won't score for crap because the longest points will be his eye gaurds and they will only be 10-12 inches long and all the other points will be 8 inches or less long. But those kind of bulls will have a ton of mass and they look real cool.Make sure you take pics and posted them.Good luck.
