Default 243 for Elk?

I'm looking for some input. I'm booking a hunt this Saturday with Lirpa Out fitters in Texas for a September rut hunt. I only have a 243 is that big enough for elk? My Guide (Loof Lirpa I think he must be european with a name like that) says it's plenty big enough. We will be hunting a portion of their ranch that is over 140 acres in size. I asked if there was a good chance of getting a good bull, he chuckled and said " I gaurentee it!" man am I pumped, I've been saving for years for a wildnerness experience like this. Will I need to worry about cover scents or calls do you think?
