Willaims, AZ

I took my family to Williams, AZ for the Polar Express Train ride this Thanksgiving. We got there after dark on Thanksgiving day so I was not able to see the country much but could tell we were climbing in altitude and getting into forest and all the Elk crossing signs. The couple of times that I can ever remember going through Flagstaff/Williams area when I was young was at night. Friday morning we woke up and got to check out the town some, this was a short trip so I didn't get to get out and scout around. I went to the only sporting goods store that I had seen in town and the owner wasn't the friendliest guy I've met. For an outdoors store, he didn't seem to like hunters much. He went on to tell me that hunters in that area don't understand the real meaning of hunting and they were just after something to put on the wall. The only info he gave me was pointing to the Regulation Book and a free forest road map of the area.
I guess my question is how is the elk hunting in that area? I have never hunted Arizona and don't know the first place to look. On the drive home I did look through the regs and found that the area south of Williams is Unit 8. I want to do an Archery bull hunt during the rut and it seems the season is during that time. Anybody want to throw me a bone?
