Can anyone help me find a good place to hunt
In short, ........... no.
Something you will have to do for yourself. We can only give pointers.
" tell me how to find elk in all that country."
This one is a little more doable. Here are a few pointers: Call the game warden for the area and tell him the general/specific areas you have been hunting. Tell him you area willing to get a little farther from the truck and would like some general areas to explore. Then comes map time. Get some topo quads of the area and study them for terrain, cover, water, and roads. Find some areas that have all the above that are over 1 mile from a road. Then call the game warden back and ask him about specific creek drainages/ mountains, etc. He is more likely to give you really good info when you ask him about specific areas.
Then buy you a backpack (or plan on renting a horse) for packing an elk out and begin getting in shape right now. I mean yesterday! The better shape you are in the better your chances because you can keep walking until you find an elk. Every year people get lucky and kill an elk from a road, but most are killed away from the crowds.
Good luck.
