I love beetle. Made for the best hunting ever in our way overgrown forests.
Unit 161 is a beautiful place, but heavily hunted for the relatively small number of elk I found there in 6 years of hunting. The northern part of Unit 161 is very scenic to humans and great for peaceful walks, but not well inhabited by elk. The SW and SE parts of the unit are probably your best bet. Look at the couple state properties in both those areas. Expect to find many more hunters than elk and you must be willing to hike in at least 2 miles from the roads.
As others have said, there are much better elk hunting units.
