Not sure about WT, maybe PA, NJ, OH, or down south on public land since u said non guided.

Besides WT, I would say antelope is your best chance at success for a DIY on public land in WY. I believe I read once that there Are more antelope than people in WYoming.

I did Montana. Got a Mullie and my two buddies got Wt. as the do every year .

Now to be fair my friends friend lives there, but it's easy to get to hunt ranches there . When he moved there he just drove around and asked it was pretty easy.

One spot they go the guy used to guide and now a days just lets guys use his cabins for $50 a night, and he tells you where to hunt  ! My buddy was out glassing and a truck pulled up and asked if he was staying at so and so's cabins , then told him To go drive to such and such a spot as it was loaded with deer right now . It's not at all like NY.... 

Visit some other state forums and read, introduce yourself and ask for advice . 

I know guys who a did DIY elk hunt in Colorado and each bow killed Bulls .

lots of public and BLM land out West one can just hunt .

Check out this link.

Over 1/3 of the state ( 30 million acres) is open to,public hunting .

Narrow,it down and call there DNR office where it appears to be a good spot, and they'll be very helpful in telling you great spots.
