It said in the regs. that you can buy a Elk/Deer combo OTC for Oct. 17-25 Cow only. But for Deer only, you might be right. I'm going to call tomorrow and find out for sure. I would like to get a tag for a Deer, Bull Elk, and a Bear. The guys going to the first season are going to let me know where they killed out, There might be a good chance for a bear around their kill spots.
