Elk aren't evenly distributed over their habitat like eastern whitetails and turkeys. Finding them is the biggest problem to solve. Once you find them they aren't that hard to kill if you have some hunting experience under your belt.
Where to hunt elk is far more valuable knowledge than how to hunt elk.
The only way to learn the where is to spend time in elk country or hunt with someone who has. Don't get bummed out if you come up empty on your first couple trys. Hang with it and keep learning.
