wyoming bison hunt

I am #19 on the Wyoming Bull Bisonlist for 2009. I was wondering if anybody had information on these hunts?

Father was #7 non-res bull last year, and he got a tag. I believe the first 50 will get called/offered a tag. I spoke to fish n game and they said not everyone who is issued a tag will buy/take their tag, so if they offer 50 tags say maybe only 20 will use them.

Give jackson,wy fish n game a call though and they'll be able to give you a pretty certain idea, but I think you'll be hunting a bison if you choose to.

I had this tag in 2007. You will get one with that number.
The hunt itself is usually pretty simple, but a warm fall like last year will keep most of them in the Park where you can't hunt.
Not sure where you are from, but be prepared to get a bunch of meat out quickly. The carcass weight of mine without the head and hide was 800 pounds. It filled the back of my shortbed Ford.
I used a 300WM, but any good rifle at least 30-06 or more will do the job.

I drew a cow tag for 2009 i am planning on going and purchasing my license within the next couple of weeks. My 8 yr old daughter is more excited to go than i am. My dates for the elk refuge are nov 3 -20th. My question is when i go to get my license i was planning on taking a ride to look around and see where i could go hunt that is not on the refuge. Does anyone have any places they would be telling me to go look around or any suggestions.

thank you

The people at the G&F will be more than helpful to tell you where to find them. They really want to reduce the numbers.
The cow are actually harder to find than the bulls.

Has anyone heard of any harvests yet? I did hear about the guide who ended up in the hospital.
