yes i realize that. that's why it was a dream. shooting a big bull in this unit will not be easy. some guys dont shoot anything while others shoot rag horns. a very small percentage come out with bulls like yours and travis's. ive spent a fair amount of time in the unit already and have focused mostly on the access, skid roads, trails and drainages. ill spend next week on locating a good one hopefully.

I can't say much about the area except that I drove around a little up there this past Winter with my cousin and saw the biggest bull I've ever seen. That thing completely took my breath away and made me forget that there was a camera nearby that I WISH I would have picked up to snap a picture. I'll never forget that bull that we stared at for a couple minutes at very close range from the pickup! I wouldn't be surprised if that's the "400 bull" you heard about!What area of the unit did you see him. I know it was winter and he probably is not even closeto there just wondering. Private or public? Thanks

Post by: Dipsnort on August 29, 2009, 10:12:24 PM
It was only a few miles out of Dayton on the road to Ski Bluewood and it was on private property. No doubt that bull lives somewhere up in the hills when the snow is gone.I can't say much about the area except that I drove around a little up there this past Winter with my cousin and saw the biggest bull I've ever seen.

AAARRGH some of you need to be gagged and tied to a rail and then ran out of the state. All the specific info sharing on this particular area. Those that hunt it really could use a break on all the pressure. There is no other unit so whored out over the net than the Dayton unit. Gather your info with boot leather, you are inviting too many casual weekenders to mess weeks of scouting up that local guys have invested time into. Give it a break.
Dude, you need to chill out. The Dayton is not the only unit that is whored out over the net, that is kind of the purpose of these forums. :'(

Yelp, Those Elk are awesome... I have no idea where that is but it gives me hope for when I get drawn if ever... Was one of those elk The Agnew bull?
No....these bulls were filmed by us 2nd week of November last year. Agnew bull was taken much earlier.....ironically the 3 or 4 other bulls running with these two big guys looked like dinks, but in reality, they were all probably 330-350 class....lol. Just looked small compared to Brutus (what we named the bigger one) and his buddy. Impressive to say the least. We watched them for about 1/2 hour at 75-80 yards. Back in the 90's while hunting whitetails in November, not too far from this location as a crow flies in another drainage, my son and I saw an 8x8 and a 7x7 above us on a ridge in the snow that were both bigger than these two guys.... the biggest bulls I have ever seen dead or alive.....and didn't have my camera. :bash:

Hey,this is Mark. That was a fun hunt no doubt. I haven't gotten all of the picturesa of your bull yet, but look forward to seeing the rest of them. Wished I could have stayed and held them in my hand. I will have more internet access now that I just picked up a netbook from AT&T. Love this thing. I am in Kansas working a nuke outage right now, but would love to meet up with you to hold onto them antlers. You can PM me if you like and I will get you the rest of my contact info.
Cleveland Steamer ;),
Call me when you get a chance. I will be on my cell.
Later,
Mark
