CBB, I would slow down your expectations a little. Just getting a license doesn't mean the animals will be beating a path to you. After you win a license, depending on location desire, you then have to try and draw a permit to hunt that area. NR's are allowed only limited numbers of these. only 10% in many cases. In residents cases if they don't get drawn then they are out a big $20 but you will be out hundreds.
And all those ranchers who had their arms twisted by the outfitters may not be willing to let you hunt since they were part of the exclusive hunting rights and the money they got paid by the outfitters. And remember most of the land is privately owned and hunting is controlled by the owner.
Block management will be your best bet along with the public land but of course that is where most of the residents also hunt. Given that fact also understand it is a very big place and even though there are other hunters you may never see them.
Save the Earth...its the only planet with chocolate!
