What about Minam unit in Oregon. More tags than 1st. Choice applicants. since it is a draw unit only, you should have 100% chance to draw as 1st choice. It is Gods country...but it’s not easy country. You’ll need guide and Get horse back and book at least one or two years In Advance.
Oregon has cheap tags for cougar but wolves have moved in as well so bring shovel for protection.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
