I just got invited to hunt Elk in the middle of October 2012. I haven't taken any time to check into anything. He did say it was rifle season so i hope i don't have any restrictions with a ML. It's public land and going in by horse back and setting up camp. Sounds fun and it's real cheap. No guarantee but it sure will be fun trying.

What unit?

during rifle season you can use scopes and sabots

If it's a popular unit that needs points for a bull. Put in for a cow.

If it is the middle of Oct. Then it could be a draw as the first rifle season is draw only. Second and 3rd season are OTC tags. Better check

Most likely it will be 2nd rifle season which is Oct 22-30. As stated, pretty much anything goes with a blackpowder rifle during that season (sabots, scope, pellets). Good luck! What area?

if its private land then there pretty much will be a great deal of left over tags for that.

We may have a chance to hunt a few thousand acres of private land in unit 51 for cow elk or doe.

Good luck on your elk hunt. I am really trying to put together a cow hunt with my new FL in Unit 521 next year. I have hunted that unit several times in my life, and I know it well enough to assure a cow, I just need to get a tag. Tom.

The guy said it would be a 7 day hunt in October. I need to call him this week.

Sounds like fun. I'm heading to TX for an archery red deer and bison hunt. Wish I could use my ML for the bison but its an archery only ranch.
