Sorry to hear about your hunt. If you camped on 1791, there are lots of elk in that area, but all vanish comes opening day. But with a cow tag, you should be able to find one.

For your late deer, depends on where you want to go and if you just want meet in the freezer. I would suggest 501, 666, 651, or 633 as you can take any deer. I don' t know much about these areas. I' ve been to 501 a few times.
