I don�t much about unit 10, but I have hunted late season elk near by.
#1 After the rut, bulls will scatter, find a place to hide and recuperate.
Find the roughest, nastiest canyon you can, a place where no human in his right mind would go, and go there.
#2 Glass, glass, and then glass some more. Spend hours behind quality binoculars. If you don�t find a good bull, move to another location and do it again.
Be prepared to cover lots of ground, lots of different locations. Sooner or later, you will find elk.
#3 Weather. Late season can be cold and snowy, but it can also be warm and dry. ( keep in mind, warm to an elk is anything over 50 day time high). If it�s warm and dry, they will go to water daily. Sit water holes in the afternoon/evening. On my November hunt, lows in the 40s, highs in the 70s. It felt like mild summer weather. I found lots of elk hitting water holes.
Sleeping bags, really depends on the weather. If you don�t �need� a good cold weather bag, you should probably wait and watch weather forecasts. A few weeks out, if it�s cold and nasty in Arizona, get the bag.
