Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, 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 Eastern Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation with a 2016 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep License for auction. The 2016 Wyoming Governor's Bighorn Sheep License is valid in any open hunt area having more than eight 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 2016 will be finalized in April 2016. In 2015, this license was valid in seven hunt areas: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8/23. These hunt areas account for over 85% of Wyoming's annual Rocky Mountain sheep harvest. Successful Purchaser may hunt any open 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 ($122 for Resident, $2266 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.
