Good advice so far. I would also add to get out towards the end of summer and find where some are at, they will leave a lot of tracks. Actual sightings are good too. Hike around, get to know the area. Spend time in the area, hike around some more. I also, if I can, hunt the same general areas year after year. It helps a lot to get to know the land, and where the elk move to and from.
Depending on where you are moving too, the type of hunting can differ a lot. Some areas may be more prone to glassing, spot and stalk, or creeping along a few feet at a time. My last bull was killed at 30 feet, i've also had to pass on shots that were just to far.
The main thing is get in shape and get out there and start learning.
