Walk, walk, and then walk some more.  Calling is not effective as the cougars and the human pressure has shut that down for some years now.  It is possible to get remote and a motorcycle is helpful with that as the recreational single track riders have trails that go farther than most people realize.  Easy to get lost on those bike trails however so bring a gps.  Buck Meadows gets pounded I have successfully been able to get remote by heading SW from some old cabins down on the creek if you happen to stumble across those.  It is a old mining claim.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Are you talking about down by Taneum Creek ?
I have hunted all over area and have found several structures, one up S.Fork Meadows Trail that was abandoned many years ago and now somebody fixed up real nice and even named it camp Bullbuck, but I cannot see having to push that far in for a EM cow permit.
We see Elk all the time by walking one of the gated roads, or even along the single track (motorcycle) trails off the mainlines, or even pushing the timber in between the roads, I have been working a herd of 20+ Elk within sight of the road while other "hunters" have driven past.
Just get out of the truck, and off the road, find a game trail, and see where it leads.

Really find it hard to believe that you guys are seeing a lot of animal in that area. I have hunted there the last 10 years and see it getting worse every year. Maybe it 's just me, but I have put on a lot of miles and have got into the thick stuff and have not had a lot of luck. I usually go in around the 6 mile mark up the gravel road. Is that still to low? Sounds like a lot of you guys are having much better luck then me. Any advise, Thanks
A bad day hunting is better then any day at work

I have hunted area for 20+  years and always find animals, but that is during early archery season.
I already have told someone about my most consistent spot, but try parking down at Taneum Junction and hiking one of the trails, Gooseberry, Gnat Flat, or Hoyt Mining trail.
The largest chunk of non-roaded or trailed area is in-between the Hoyt mining trail and Frost Mountain Trail accessed from S.Fork meadows (Taneum Creek) called the "case knife"
I also park at top sometimes and get picked up at bottom, as I find it easier to walk down-hill.
