It's called hunting, it's about getting out there and putting on the miles on foot and vehicle finding those spots. Every good hunter has them and most never came easy. It's a lot to ask of people to just give up areas. Put in the time don't give up you'll find your spots.

    Not to sure about the Calgary area but there may be some lease land close, probably worth a check.  The Ihunter app can be a good tool for finding lease contacts, numbers are displayed and it's just a matter of a phone call.  Most I've dealt with are pretty good and understand they can't keep you off for no good reason.  There are some dicks though but not the norm in my experience. Might lend a hand in helping your confidence talking to landowners as well.  The government has a website for lease land contacts as well but not quite as handy to use as Ihunter.  I would imagine it would be busy out that way within 50-100k.
        With that said, and I'm just guessing, you might be better served stretching your range a bit if you can.  It's not uncommon to run into guys from Calgary in my parts and it's well over 200k away.  I assume out of necessity.
