Default Elk hunt scenario! What's best tactic?

Ok, my son and I are rookie elk hunters and have returned from a hunt in Colorado recently. We had bugling bulls near and sometimes within sight. First morning we had a bull in aspens that we called within 150 yards and he hung up. We're familiar with turkey hunting and elk seem to be similar except for the scent factor. We believe we weretoo cautious in waiting for him to present a shot in an open avalanche shute. We feel we should've been more aggressive and one of us should've closed the distance into the aspens while the other stayed back and called. The wind was in our favor. Is this thetactic most would've taken?
