Dayton Quality Bull Modern Firearm

[GameHunter1959]

I have never drawn anything other than a cow and doe permit. I finally drew Dayton Quality Bull - Modern Firearm. I have hunted in and around Dayton for the past 30 + years; however I am NO expert. I will start scouting next week. I'm a solo hunter so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd love for someone to come with me, if they LEGIT know the area. I'm willing to put it a tremendous amount of time etc. I have a very flexible work schedule and can scout it almost weekly. Thank you in advance for any help...

PM me and I can issue my cell number

We have 1 Dayton bull tag in camp this year, I'm going to have to hold his bullets.

Dayton is my first choice this year for rifle, 22 points, I'll check tonight and see.  Congrats on your tags.

Its for my own good trust me!!  I'm at work, a job a really don't care for, been here 24 years so no quiting now!  You've probably seen the movie perfect storm?  Well if I don't draw (again), and I'm here at work when I find out, I just might drive off a clif!!  It would be the perfect storm of depression!!   I need whiskey first, then I'll look.  @Timberstalker

What if you were the first guy not to draw?  Like I was on 2 separate quality bull permits last year?
I had 20 pts this year, but ghosted, so I'm good.
Sorry, don't drive off a cliff.

Ya man; I've been there. When I hit 15 points, I felt like I was gonna draw every single year. Nothing but "not selected". I strongly considered "ghost points", because I have a ton of points in all categories except Antlerless. My fear was I would double draw Quality and Bull in the same year. This should setup nice. I will have 11 Bull points next year, which should put me in position to draw again soon.

If anyone wants to get together to scout and/or hunt; I would love to.

Any suggestions on where I should start scouting next week?

I need to find some good access points to sit in my truck and glass or walk out to an area where I can glass.

Are there any trailheads, which I can walk deep in to look around, place cameras, etc. ?

What's the verdict? @Trophyhunt

What's the verdict? @Trophyhunt

The verdict reminds me of when OJ got off..,,,, ok I'm going to just go to bed. Not exactly happy 22 years and not selected. Whatever

Sorry man. I was pulling for you.

[GameHunter1959]

Bummer...I was hoping you would get drawn and we could share information. Keep your head up. I'm 41 years old and just drew my first special permit, outside of an antlerless or multi-season permit. It will happen..
