As a side note, I am not near 50 elk but I also don't have the number of seasons behind me that some do. There have been multiple years where I have had an extra cow tag, and if I could draw would have multiple bull tags too. My best year is two bulls and a cow (done that twice) and one year I killed one bull and two cows.
50 elk is more than possible if you're dedicated and have a plan for the meat.
