Private land is definitely the way to go. Our elk trip was a guided hunt - a young guy has a hunting lease on 21,000 acres of ranch land in central Oregon. It made the meat a little expensive, but it was an enjoyable time, plenty of hard work and cold toes, but still worth it.
I need to check in with an old friend who has had arrangements with some ranchers in the past and see if he’s still good with some of that.
