Head up that road. If you've got a forest service map, it'll keep you from getting lost. You won't find all the roads on your GPS, like as not. It will be paved for a mile or so and then proceed on the dirt. We were up there (after scouting) in the early morning dark many years ago. When we got to the spot we had picked out, we parked and deassed the truck. There was a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground and ours was the only tire tracks.
While we were gearing up, we could hear Elk all around - even on the road behind us around a curve. We walked back a couple of hundred yards and there were fresh hoof prints in our tire tracks. Thinking we had found the mother lode, we set up our lawn chairs and waited for sunrise. Then we waited . . . and waited . . . and waited. My avatar picture was taken by my son as I was waiting. Zzzzzz. After the sun was up, this is what the bowl we were watching looked like:

Later on, we moved to a different spot to try some stalking and I found this neat game trail (video attached).
Well, I'm trying to upload the video to Photobucket but it won't do it. It says, check back later.
I have it on Youtube. Let's see if I can plug it in here.

That didn't do it. Here's the bare link:
That can be productive country, but we never heard a shot, except for those to the East nearer the feeding station. The Elk were there. Just not at the time and place we were. I swear I could hear them breathing. Good Luck!

Just past Rimrock lake and immediately before you reach the dam, there is a store on the right. Below the store are a bunch of vacation cabins which were leftover housing for the workers who built the dam. They are now privately owned. Just past the store, on the left is a road. Sorry, but I don't remember its name but it is hard to miss. I think it may have "Wildcat" in the name. You'll be headed a bit downhill in a right curve when you'll see the sign. Be ready to grab the binders!Unfortunately wildcat road washed out about 2 years ago and is closed a couple miles in. That is in the bumping gmu.

I think it washed out 3 years ago. Could be a good pack in area thou.
In rimrock I'd look towards the pinegrass ridge area.

The jeeps trails can get you away from most, look for areas of dark timber,with water, and steep hil, side. Like Louie way.
But be in good shape to get away from people.
