Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission & Department, the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition, and the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation are pleased to provide the Wild Sheep Foundation with a 2020 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep license for auction.
The 2020 Wyoming Governor’s Bighorn Sheep License is valid in any open hunt area having more than 8 Type 1 ram licenses issued. The number of licenses issued per hunt area may change from year to year. Seasons and license numbers for fall 2020 will be finalized in April 2020. In 2019, this license was valid in six hunt areas: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and7. These hunt areas account for over 80% of Wyoming’s annual Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep harvest. For further information, please contact Doug McWhirter, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 307.733.2321, or Daryl Lutz, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 307.332-2688 , or Kurt Eisenach, WY Wild Sheep Foundation 307.751.6251 or Steve Kilpatrick, WY Wild Sheep Foundation 307.413.7249
Successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area that qualifies in accordance with the above. The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area and may hunt different hunt areas. The five-year waiting period between bighorn sheep licenses does not affect the ability to purchase a Governor’s bighorn sheep license, and purchasing this license is independent of applying for a bighorn sheep license through the draw system. The license fee ($152 for resident, $2,320 for non-resident) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a WY Governor’s Bighorn Sheep License. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for Wyoming bighorn sheep projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.
During the week of January 14-19th you will be able to contact Auction Support at 406-404-8765.
