Title: Elk Area 1010
Post by: 270Flat on October 15, 2012, 12:31:34 PM: Was looking into future hunts (next year maybe). Can someone explain this area? Looks like the Dayton unit... Right?

It is virtually 100% private.

The people that had access to these lands where putting in for the Dayton area but due to the massive number of people putting in where never drawn and so the big bulls in the unit where not being hunted. It is an excellent area for large trophy animals but you need to have access secured before you put in for the hunt.

Don't let this get you down. There are areas in 1010 that if you do your homework and talk to land owners that would let you hunt if you drew the big bull tag. I have seen where private land owners, that wont let you hunt there land for spikes, that will let someone with a big bull tag on to hunt. Hope the information is helpfull.

Post by: elkinrutdrivemenuts on October 15, 2012, 01:34:38 PM: It's by Maloney mt. A pretty good chunk but it get hit by lots of people during rifle due to the antlerless tags given outside of the national forest.
