I've hunted up there for 3 of the last 4 years. Lot's of elk and people.
You can definately get into them if you look in the right spot.

Do you have a specific spot in mind? How far are you willing to walk? You'll a lot more animals if you are willing to walk at least a mile.

Send me a PM. I'll see what I can find.

I hunted 36 for a number of years and really got to know the country and the elk. The problem I ran into is the number of hunters and inexperienced hunters going into the elk's bedding areas and blowing them out of the area. We use to see 100-200 elk every season and could get into them almost every day but things have changed due to all of the pressure.

Ran it a couple of times with buddies, but never with a tag of my own. Lots of 2-legged pressure as others have mentioned.
