I think it is a good deal. My partner had the deer last year and after hunting the high buck with rifles and myself taking a good buck, he had the tag in his pocket while ML elk hunting in Eastern Wash. Deer overlapped and guess what? A nice muley buck provided him with a great opportunity and he took it. I'm hoping to get the elk so I can bow hunt the West side and if I don't score go shoot a cow with my AHE.
