I wish I owned land myself. I don't but if I made the investment I would have made the investment to have private land to hunt and fish on. I agree that if you enter at a public access point you should have the right to fish up and down the streams. I disagree that you should have the right to cross anyones property to get to the water. As for big game, they are surviving off of the food provided on the land owners property (natural and supplemented by the ranchers), I only have one friend who's uncle owns a ranch. I was lucky enough to get a cow elk tag from him one year. He would just as well have every elk ran off his ranch because he feeds his cows only too watch the elk come in and eat the hay he just put out for his cows. Elk are way more aggressive then domestic cattle.
