I killed my first bull in this country last year (year 2 of hunting). If you are going the crown land route, the biggest issue isn't finding elk. Pick any farmland/bush intersection, and the chances are pretty good there will be elk in there.
The issue for me was just the thickness of the bush. It ain't like the pines in the southern rockies. Making moves on animals through the bush is very difficult. This year they were bugling really well in my area, so I knew they were there, and had good encounters for two weekends, before I finally called my bull into the open.
