Don't need any frills, just someone that knows the areas.

My permit is not worth putting in jeopardy for $500.
Like nwhunter indicated there have been a few temporary permits issued in the past. They were for the Mossback bunch in the past. Another temp permit this year.
Use caution in making connections with lesser known individuals that have history guiding in the Dayton. Their track record in completing their obligations is not good.

Seriously though big daddy, stay away from the low ground, lotsa bulls in the forest service. Shoot me a PM and we'll bs, I had it last year and had a great time, super fun hunt! There really are no secrets, just find good spots to glass from and you'll find bulls. Later

I talked with Bigdaddy last night. In the past the USFS had given me verbal permission to pack meat only in the Dayton unit. That permission came as the result of some meat lost by un prepared hunters. This year I asked for a Temporary Permit to pack meat only in the Dayton Unit. The request was denied so I will not be packing meat on a verbal approval.

Mtncook Thanks for the conversation, you seem very knowledgeable I wish I had drawn the Taconnon or Wenaha, so we could be hunting a big bull this fall together.
Were planning a number of scouting trips, and as much as I would be willing to invest in an outfitter to help me on this possibly once in a lifetime hunt, I'm am good with gathering info from all you that are willing to share, and from what I have heard, this is going to be a great hunt, I am totally jacked, I have hunted elk for a long time and have yet to kill a nice bull, which just adds to the anticipation of opening morning.

no outfitters allowed in Dayton. Previously that provision was loop hole through a USFS special use permit( shouldn't say loop hole because it was clearly legal.) but that was most likely lost due to the outcry over the Agnew bull killing.I am not sure if I am reading this right. but the past two years a permit has been issued to the mossback crew.

Dave, You should send a link for this topic to the forest office that administers the Dayton unit just to show them there is a need for a licensed outfitter in that area!
