I see you are posting from NY, so if you are considering an elk hunt out West my best advice to you is hire a guide your first time out. Check their refrences and call on the previous hunters guided. I know it is expensive but this isn't a hunt you can probably do every year being a resident of NY so it would probably be worth it in the long run to invest where you will get the highest opportunity for a shot on an elk. Just don't have the same expectations of a guided hunt on public land vs. private.
The only real thing that has ever worked for me well is is to find elk and then figure out how to approach within shooting distance. Best thing you could ever hope for during rifle season is fresh snow. Your plan to find the nastiest hole and wait for them to come in migh work or it might not. Like I said elk are where you find them and where you least expect them to be.
