I hunt in Dayton. There is a lot of public land there, non of which will have any Elk on it this time of year though if im thinking of the same area your talking about. The locals dont like to give permission really... Some are really good people, some just dont want to deal with other. During the early deer season i seen one giant bull down low in the wheat fields and during spring turkey the Elk were all over the place. Now though, they are all in the Blues.
