Your title is confusing, or your post is. I read it as archery elk and rifle deer :dunno:

Why wouldn't it be possible and acceptable? I guess I don't get what you're asking ???

A lot of people hunt elk with a bow and deer with a rifle. I think they like the fact that elk can be hunted with a bow in September and called into range.

That is exactly what I do. I love hunting elk with a bow because it allows me to hunt during the rut and rifle for deer because then I can hunt with my old man who doesn't bow hunt.

I have archery elk tag and a rifle deer tag, and I do every year.

No problem at all. I often switch the weapon/season from year to year. This year I have an archery elk tag and a rifle deer tag. Lots of people do it, and the other way around too.

How about this-
I believe you can hunt both deer and elk with both a bow AND a rifle in the same year - just do it all during modern firearms season, and wear your orange-
