Do any of you purposely hunt deer when you have both deer and elk tags? Especially a bull tag?
- Why would you hunt deer on purpose if you have an elk tag at the same time?
No - but I'm archery in Idaho when both are in legal season, so I'll have both tags on me.
I'm not "purposely" going to hunt deer on an elk hunt - until the elk is down - but I'll have a deer tag just in case "the one" steps out.
I've finished an elk stalk, and had a monster muley bedded near me, that I'd have taken in a minute, had the shot presented.
We've passed many a mulie during the elk hunt, but none were a "wow" either.
