Here's the deal.

I had to change the dates of my first CO elk hunt from the2nd week of "archery" season (Sept)to the 2nd "rifle" season (Oct 18-26). I'm pretty sure it's still okay to bow hunt during that time. I have a ton of questions, but here are a few.

Other than hunting with the orange army and having to wear orange, what should I expect?
Typically, what are the elk doing during that time?
If any, what type of calling should/could work best?
Reassure me that bowhunting IS allowed during rifle season.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, I still have the opportunity to go in Sept. The reason I'm changing is to go on a hunt with an older gentleman that has had a life long dream to go elk hunting and he feels that this might be his last chance to realize that dream, but he doesn't bowhunt. I think it would be great for all of us to be a part of hisdream. There will be 4 of us going if we hunt in October, if I go in Sept, it'will be myself and one buddy. The older man and a different buddy will still go in October.
Either way, I'm going. Just looking for some tips and advice.

Thanks,
Waid
