Pony up some cash and do guided with the intent of learning; be very explicit with the various outfitters and go with the one that will give you what you want. If you factored in all the costs expended so far, both real as well last time, you'd come out ahead going the guided route. I was in a similar situation on black bear; learned more about bear/lion hunting in one week with two rock star guides than I did solo with months invested chasing black bears over several years.
But this is RS where paying to significantly shorten the learning curve is frowned upon.
