You don't have to "gain" access to the Feel Free to Hunt areas, just park where it says to park and hunt. I personally have never been successful in reserving any eastern GMU "reserve/register to hunt blocks. All were either reserved or reserved full within nano seconds of becoming available. Another note is you might find "hunt by written permission" blocks and make contact with the owner and try and gain written permission. I have had good luck with these.
Pretty sure you can't make reservations until 2 weeks before hunting season starts, and then it's a rat race from what I've heard. With that said, I've never tried either, so who knows. A friend was recently told about the 2 week thing by WDFW.

You won't have an issue with getting permission to fill an anterless tag. You should get a very positive response just knocking on a couple of doors.
