Gamehunter is pretty much spot on for the area.

Thanks Gamehunter and the rest for the advice. I have found some of the land owners that will allow with written permission. Plan on checking that out this weekend.
How is access with the Grizzly Bear fire?

You may want to ask Kelly Allen. He has a good chunk of land between the North and South Patit Road, just north of Dayton. His home is located on Maloney Mtn. Road and Hartstock Road, White house, Ford F-250, out front. He is an attorney up in Spokane, but usually comes down on the weekends. Your best bet is to contact him at his law office in Spokane. He is a hunter, but will typically allow hunting to special permit holders. I would offer to help out on his property or bring some fresh seafood. 2 cents

Good luck and post pictures

Will definitely check this out.
Have lots of seafood. Been fishing offshore all Summer
Thanks

I've been scouting that unit and several locals told me he lives there. I stopped by his place on Maloney and caught him heading out to work in his fields, he seemed like nice guy but more like a Notary than lawyer to me, IMHO 
He told me he's all full up with hunters this year for deer and elk seasons so I doubt he's letting anyone else in on his land. He's definitely got some excellent ground and seems like he's there most of the time. Sure got an awesome looking old barn.

Good luck, Nat. Forest may be your best bet.

 I've gotten 2 whitetails in the Dayton area in one year. One with the right fender, the other square on in the grill.  Pre-tenderized that way and also contributes to the economy by supporting my local body shop.  That noise it makes is one of the most gut wrenching sounds a driver can hear.

Big "Thump!" with a little airy "whump" thrown in, and a background noise type cracklie "Crunch!" mixed in.... you just heard it again in your brain, didn't you?!?!

Call the game department and ask for the land owner list, who receive money for wildlife damage claims. The land owners are required to open up a portion of their land to public hunting, if they are receiving money from the game department for wildlife damage. They had around 28 land owners participating in the program in 2010. Not sure what the status is now. The list should be out anytime, if it isn't already out. Call the Land Access Manager for the area. It use to be Scott Raisley, but I heard he took on a new role with the department.

Some of the land owners have small portions of land. Given you have a deer permit; I would not look past those smaller land areas. Lots of ditch lines, tall grass, small brush patches, etc. that hold white tails. Lots of deer in the foothills will get pushed into those unsuspecting areas during the modern season. Those white tails seem to move to the tall grass and bed to where they can see you, long before you can see them.
