There are always elk in the West Elk Creek gorge. Look for them on the shoulders of the canyon half way between the rim and the bottom, upstream from the Lion Gulch trail. But you better be in good shape if you get an elk down because it's a tough haul to get them out.
I don't think you'll see many on Dillon Mesa unless there's a ton of snow.
