Try GMU 602 and 612. Both have pretty good elk numbers. I would try to learn both. Hit the holes and cover ground.
Google Clallam county GIS and use there interactive map to find ways into the units. I would try and explain but, I would feel bad giving you bad directions. I spent a fare amount of time up there earlier this year and seen a lot of elk in both area.

Living nearby, you could approach the private landowners (during off season) and request permission.
A good way to do that is to send Christmas cards with an introduction and s.a.s.e. if they don't respond, oh well, but if they do......
You will be amazed at how many hate the deer/elk during the winter months due to the damage to fences, feed, etc. and in a moment of weakness will say O.K. (especially to a local)
Then all you have to do is keep in touch, and offer to help mend fences or whatever :dunno:
As far as seeing orange driving around, as long as you get out and look for the elk in the areas between the roads, and down in holes, those guys driving by will (hopefully) keep the animals away from roads, and where you are hunting....

Well maybe some day...who knows ...I keep trying just doing the best I can and so far my best leaves me empty handed but I like being in the woods so it isn't really a loss. I dont like being out there with lots of other hunters that makes me nervous I am still not entirely comfortable with random gunshots when I do not know where they are coming from or going to :dunno:
