I can't believe you haven't figured out that you can hunt elk with a rifle in September (limited entry) in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and Alberta. Two of the biggest bulls I've killed were on September rifle rut hunts in Utah (Book Cliffs) and Montana (Bob Marshall Wilderness).
Sometimes it's better to keep quiet rather than open your mouth and reveal your ignorance.
