Wyoming Bison priority ranking
Anyone get a low number.

My oldest son had our lowest, 83. So probably no bison hunt this year.

It is kind of tough that they made it once in a lifetime.

My father drew a cow tag a few years ago. Shot a 2 year old cow and had some fantastic meet.

If we end up int he lower 48 I think it is worth putting our name on the list. Much more interesting hunt that the Custer State Park.

I don't know Kudu, I've heard that if you are under 150 the odds are VERY good that you'll get the call.

I however won't, as I have #497, my lowest number in several years.

My brother in law drew #12 several years ago. He shot a dandy bull with my Shiloh .45-70 about 2 miles S-SW of the Hatchet motel.

We had a friend that got one two years later, #17. I don't know anyone since then. That's been 12+ years ago.


Damn right its loaded, it makes a lousy club. -JW

If I remember right at the Jackson season meeting they said there would be over 100 bull tags issued. Some of that will go to non-residents, but I'd guess you will be close.

Hmmmm! Thanks for the info. So maybe a hunt might be in the works. I love spending time over there. Especially in the fall.

My son recieved paper work today. So #77 is a winner to. If my son shoots a bison he will have taken every legal, big game in Wyoming. Wolf and grizz might take a while.

true tall tale!! My buddy calls me up to ask if I received my draw number, Yeah 497 or something. He asks if 50 is a good number, I get all excited, then he proceeds to ask if it is still a good number with a 16 in front of it. 1650. Jerk... THEN about an hour later, I get a text from my sister asking if 49 is a good number. I just know that they're in cahoots. Yeah, yeah, tell Joe to stick it. Joe who she asks? Ok, I'll play along. Yep, 49 is ok, you might get called, etc. I was dubious until she sent me the pic of the letter! I got punked twice!! and I'll be packing bull buffalo come this fall.

LUCKY!!
