Assuming you're planning OTC, what is drawing you to McKenzie of all the units? And yes, archery or rifle decision is important as elk aren't in the same spot between the two seasons. If doing archery, there are better units than McKenzie if you're going to pay the hefty non-res elk tag price.....

Will send a PM.

They try for an eastside tag and then go coast or Cascades if unsuccessful. Seems like everyone who owns a horse heads to the wilderness. Some of the most successful elk hunters I know hunt in and adjacent to clearcuts just outside the wilderness.
