No elk in Soap creek Basin but if you hiked up top there were lots of elk. The higher the better.
Daypacker:
That's kind of what I was guessing because of the warm/dry conditions. I saw the best forage up high when I hiked through the upper basins a month ago. We will be backpacking in a week from now and we will camp at 10,000' and hunt uphill from there.
Did you get over onto the east side of the ridge so you could look down into the West Elk Creek gorge?
