Elk and deer at the same time

[DoubleJ]

Early archery elk seems to overlap early archery deer.  Does anyone hunt both at the same time or are the styles of hunting just too different to accomplish that?  I'm a first time elk hunter this year so, please excuse the stupidity of the question.

12 days of early elk hunting are spent doing just that. Deer can be had at anytime during the two seasons.

Depending where you are hunting you can get either animal when you are out.  Where we hunt we see both elk and deer and will take whichever we see first.

I wont take an elk in early season unless its one heck of an animal that I cant pass on. There is just something about the cold high country late elk hunt that I dont want to miss out on. I'll take my deer anytime and spend the rest of early season looking for bear.

I asked because I want to consolodate my vacation time next year.  This year I am doing archery elk and modern deer.  Ran out of days off

I'll be focusing  on elk, but will take a deer if given an opportunity that won't interupt my elk hunt.

I'm mostly hunting areas that are a little better for one or the other, but most of them do overlap.  I'll take whichever I come across.

Deer seem to be a little more spread out Where we hunt elk during the early season.  Late hunt seems to be a better hunt for deer and elk.  At least where I hunt

I usually try to kill two birds with one stone.  Someone in the group usually always bags a nice deer or bear while elk hunting with a bow.

  I dont usually see many deer when elk hunting in the areas i do but given the chance i would take one for sure. Seems like the opposite always happens to me though... im out late season deer hunting and get into the elk when i would never expect to

I focus on elk when it's open, but if a REALLY nice buck presents itself with a shot I won't pass it up.  Got a sweet spot for deer I focus on in another area.

i have a multi deer tag and if some freak nasty steps out during elk season here he will get the double lung treatment

I focus on elk,  but if a shooter buck happens along...

Ill be stopping by the deer killing fields on the way to elk hunt.  Expect to tip over a tasty small buck, have him at the butcher and ready by the time I get out of Elk camp.  Must say it's not unusual to see a Mulie or two when stomping around after bulls, but I've never shot one.

I hunt to fill the freezer.
