One of the recommendations for reducing loss is to allow access for hunting. If I recall correctly, it used to be that this was a requirement for eligibility to make claims under the program; I don't think that's the case anymore, though.

The reason I mention this is that you can contact the local Fish and Wildlife office. They may have a list of landowners in the program who are more welcoming for hunters. That would be a good starting point, at least.
Thanks for the information. I have contacted AFSC to inquire about getting some landowner information. I also contacted F&W and they sent me a link to ab-conservation.com

I did have a good chat with a landowner I met while on a scouting trip, and am hoping to build some rapport.
