I thought for the hell of it I would drag up a dead post from back in the day. 

If you want a big bull then make your first choice the Colockum.  In my opinion they have better genetics and unlike many other units they are not getting harassed all summer by off road guys and hikers.  Also it's spike only for the bow so hardly any bow hunters get in there.  Also there isn't a muzzle loader season so you are hunting non-pressured elk which is a beautiful thing.  Oh and the best part the Colockum herd has better genetics for their bulls.  Especially in their fronts and G3's. 

That being said the rest of the guys hit it dead on.  As far as the Yakima units go, go high.  The lowest I'd go is the Cowiche unit.  Here's how I'd pick if I was a ML.

1. Colockum
2. Peaches Ridge
3. Cowiche
4. Rimrock
Just my  :twocents:

Pretend I did not post that order of choices.

Sorry it would go
1.Colockum
2. Peaches
3. Observatory
4. Bethel

I know alot don't like Observatory but if you know the area there are some really nice bulls in there.

Any of the yakima units will produce 300 inch bulls, and I think any of the units, even the lower ones are good choices. I know there are guys who are shooting big bulls righ outside of town in the Cowiche unit. There isn't any public land down there, but There are resident elk all over the place.
