Elk live in a lot of places and are hunted from late August to late January. Hunting them in the prairies is easier then going high and steep, and September hunts are going to be easier then December hunts.
So get boots that give you good support and have REAL good soles for traction,
but the rest of the features will depend on where and WHEN you are going to hunt. It's common for me to wear surplus military combat boots on elk hunts up to the snow flys.
After that, the "rules" for boots change a lot.
Where and when are you going?
