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 2023 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep license for auction.
The 2023 Wyoming Governor’s Bighorn Sheep License is valid in any open hunting area having more than 10 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 2023 will be finalized in April 2023. In 2022, this license would have been valid in six hunt areas: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. These hunt areas account for approximately 75% of Wyoming’s annual Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep harvest. For further information, please contact Daryl Lutz, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 307.335.2616, Ryan Amundson, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 307.331.0787, or Zach McDermott, WY Wild Sheep Foundation 307.752.1212.
The 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 residents, $2,320 for non-resident) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a WY Governor’s Big-horn Sheep License. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for Wyoming bighorn sheep projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.
