No success in Idaho. It was my first year there so I spent most of my time learning the land. Weather was not fun, few days of rain followed by one day of sunshine.

Now on to the priority, getting an elk in Dayton. My dad went up to Newby and Skyline this week to look around while I was gone. Good looking country  but still not seeing elk. Of course he wasn't beating the bushes, just walking out on ridge lines.

Just wanted to say thanks to ALL that have helped. There have been differing opinions from some but that is exactly the diversity that I was looking for.

Please pass on any last minute info that may help me, I leave Friday. I will report success or not after I get back.

Again, I valued ALL responses on this post.

Saw a nice 6 x 6 with 13 cows just outside of Starbuck heading towards the main hwy 12 that takes you in to Dayton on Thursday night around 9pm. The elk are located just before the big camp ground on the right, which runs parallel to the Tucannon River. White farm house with an alfalfa field on both sides of the road. An old woman lives in the house. It may be worth a door knock to see if she will let you hunt her farm land.  The area is posted in the low lands, but you can hunt the foothills on either side of the road. I'm not sure if your tag covers that area, but maybe? Good luck!

The Dayton unit only goes to HWY 12, also so does the marengo unit, also the new 1010 unit is just the lower portions of both of those units.
There has been alot of people see that bull, he has got some kind of limp, nobody seems to no why but he has been injured sometime or another.
I have heard he would be a nice bull to have though.
