This is the exact thing that I was told by fish and game a couple years ago when I asked them about damage complaints for that area. Almost word for word. Cant hurt to knock on doors, the worst they can do is say no.

I do some yote hunting in cheney and found it very hard to get permission to hunt elk. On a better note I have seen 50 to 100 elk in one field. good luck

Dave leases his ranch out now, has for almost ten years. I am a friend of the family and haven't been allowed to hunt it for a long time. A lot of the ranchers lease ( there's good money in it ). I only know of a couple of landowners that give permission and I'm not sure how picky they are. I have pulled elk off of state land but anymore it all seems to get hit really hard. I grew up in Cheney, it is tough to get permission.
