Depending on how many elk hang out on his property will depend on how many depo tags he will be given. The landowner can give the tags to whom he wants or keep for themselves if i remember correctly. They are only for cows and the tag is usually good from august through sometime in march and doesnt' matter the weapon type. These are just my past experiences

I looked into the deer a couple years ago,
