I think that I would work on getting in there over the summer. Go and offer to help mend fences and do other odd jobs. Dont just ask, actually show up on time and as promised. The worst thing they can say is NO!

Critters do move around, but winter habitat is good to know. You need to find where they move to in the spring, summer, and fall. It is possible that they would not be there come September. Point in case, a couple pals of mine treked to the south of Colorado on a big elk hunt. They scouted all spring and summer and found a great spot for bulls. Problem was that during archery elk season, the bulls were all gone from this local... No cows! Hence, no bulls during archery season...
As for helping out at ranches... That is how I got my antelope hunting grounds. Private ranch and the owner will call the other ranches if the antelope are not on his place when I want to hunt. Puts me right in the thick of them! Of course, I've dug up watering pipes in the stock yard, help during the spring round up, put up windbreaks, and spent this weekend digging and placeing new fence posts and stringing new fence. When those guys need help, they need it right now! Make certain you are there for them, odds are, they won't forget you come hunting time. One caution - if they have the land tied up under contract with an outfitter - you won't get on no matter what they say unless the outfitter lets you. Once leased, they no longer own the land, hunting wise. If so, might not be worth your time.
