As a local, its tough to secure hunting, as an outsider its nearly impossible. There is a coalition or group of folks trying to outlaw hunting on the valley floor. I'm not sure how far they have gotten with it or if they even could do it, and what would they define as the valley floor etc.. A whole other can of beans. What it boils down to, is thats the mentality you are going to be facing. I can give you some other locals for whities on public land if you are interested. I need to research to see what unit boundaries you have. If you are interested PM me. Save a mulie and shoot a whitetail.
