I'll take you to the elk if you drive!!!   :chuckle: :chuckle:  Only one condition- we have to dress up like the Dukes!  :)

I am assuming one of you will be dressing up as Daisy Duke.   :chuckle: :chuckle:
har har... I figured on us being Bo and Luke- but if you have anyone that can pull of a decent Daisy impersonation she is welcome to tag along!   :rolleyes:

She? You're not real familiar with that area, huh?  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I'll call my brother in law today and see if he would be willing to talk to you.He was over there last weekend and saw some mashers.Sent me some cell phone pics of a couple brutes.

Thanks to all for the encouragement and information on the elk hunt. I need to find where some of the locations you are talking about are and take a look. Also, time is getting very short for me because I leave for an Idaho elk hunt this weekend and won't be back until a few days prior to this hunt. Wish I hadn't chose this year to buy my first Idaho tag  :bash:

I would definitely appreciate that. Thank you.

:chuckle: :chuckle: Hey my dad did the same thing to me! Had a chance to buy 67 chevelle ss 4 speed matching numbers with spare 327 for 1200 and he said "they were going down in value" and wouldn't let me sell my 84 camero to buy it!  :bash: :bash: Yeah that car only goes for about 40,000 now! Hope you get your bull! Just stay strong and possitive it will happen but it will test you! Trust me I did it last year, all by myself! except the pack  :chuckle:

You must have too much time on your hands, those two rides look better than they did new.  Come on, drop the rest on here.  I'm sure the mods will let it be.  Call them elk hunting rigs. :dunno:

Ummm...

...Maximus gave you some good info, but as with everything on the internet, keep your salt shaker handy.
This is not a dig at you Maximus, good on you for sharing info with a fellow hunter.  But, anybody that thinks 'the majority of elk', or the majority of big bulls in the Dayton unit are ever concentrated down around the Patit either doesn't own optics, doesn't know how to use them, or they don't know where the unit boundaries are.
The whole unit is great elk country...and there are elk (and yes, big bulls) all over it.
Put your time in, and be smart about it.  Glass, glass, glass.  Pay attention to the vehicles you are seeing, and where you are seeing them.  There is a reason you see the same Toyota pickup parked in the same spot three different trips.
Besides, the whole public/private issue is pretty much moot at this point thanks to the tag split...
Good luck!

One thing I have learned in the 5 days I have been on this site; everyone on here seems to know everything about everything. They also read into people's posts and draw conclusions and pick them apart.

Read what I posted. The national forests, which makes up a good portion of 162 is open. The elk that get pushed out into the lower foothills are hard to access. Call the game department if you don't beleive me and ask how successful they have been getting land open. Call Scott Raisley (Land Access Manager) specifically and ask him how many landowners are registered with the game department to allow access to hunters. Last year it was 6, and only 2 of them owned a fair amount of hunting ground. Just because you see elk all over the game unit, does not mean you can hunt them.
Dan Agnew spent a huge amount of money on the Governors tag and hired a team of people to try and track down the bull I refered to in the area. To date he has not been shot, and still sits right off the side of the North Patit RD in a posted no hunting area.

He got access because of the tag he had and the game department worked a deal with the land owner (Kelly "*censored*" Allen).

What would I know? I only have family that owns 56,000 acress of property between the 4 of them, which includes 157 windmills. Not to mention they lease property in the Blue Mtn.s for their cattle to feed. Your right; just go shoot the first elk you see with your high powered optics. Nobody will care. Sorry not trying to dig at you.

By the way I don't think people were doubting what you say. I think it was more of someone sharing so much information on the Internet for the whole world to see.  :dunno:
