My next thought would be a Montana Decoy. Locate them at last light. Before daybreak the next morning have someone drop you off very quickly and drive away. Set up your decoy and position yourself behind it where they can see you. Be patient, at light it may only take a few minutes or all morning but if they are rutting pretty good it won't take long until a heard buck try's to run you (decoy buck) off.
Don't be afraid to work in on him. If there are cattle in the area, you could make a full side decoy out of Painted cardboard in the shape of a cow. It's a little easier to work behind but I have never had a buck get territorial with a cow decoy.
Good luck!
ps, is 68 right off I-15? If it is, the decoy will work well!
pps, I've NEVER had a private land owner refuse to let me hunt Goats on their land. Usually they ask me to kill a dozen or so so don't be afraid to knock on doors.
For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
