Post by: 724wd on October 26, 2010, 09:12:24 AM: i had that tag the first year they went to the points system! saw lots of bulls prior to season around eckler mt... saw a 2x and a 6x7 during season, but couldnt pick out the bodies from the cows! :'( that tag didnt taste very good.

a buddy of mine had it last year and whapped a monster! 372, i think.

GOOD LUCK! i hope you can find a real giant!

Post by: HUNT on October 27, 2010, 01:36:35 PM: Anyone heard how much snow is on the skyline road?
Title: Re: Dayton taq
Post by: gunnarnewt on October 27, 2010, 01:41:49 PM: I've heard anywhere from a foot to 4 inches depending on the source..... Bright and sunny today, so it might be a moot point by this weekend.
Title: Re: Dayton taq
Post by: Woodchuck on October 27, 2010, 01:46:17 PM: I have been told that skyline from godman to blue wood is sketchy, eckler side isnt bad to godman, is nice right now, supposed to be ugly here in town again tommorow, so we will see, i will have a guy headed up fairly early friday, will let ya know what i know then

Title: Re: Dayton taq
Post by: toyman2 on October 27, 2010, 06:12:54 PM: theres still alot of snow up there and its suppose to snow more, it wont take long and the road will be packed down were a normal truck will have no problem.
