No joke, 

I would start by walking the streets of downtown Dayton and asking for advice.  I would imagine it wouldnt take long till you found a good point in the right direction.

There are some knowledgable people in dayton if you ask around. You have a good tag If  you need some advice on where to look feel free to ask me ,  One thing that can't be beat is footwork.
If its brown knock it down

Went up there this morning. Saw a single cow, a small bunch of ~12 with cows/calves and a couple spikes and a small group with ~5 cow/calves and one spike. No big bulls  :(

Spent a few weekends up in the Chase Mt/Robinette area but haven't seen much for elk (no big bulls). I had hoped the weather would have started to turn by now but no luck.

Anyone seeing anything in the Dayton area lately?

That really does work, we've used the technique in MT.
