Your wife told you that you are moving to Cody, Wyoming. Does she have a sister!
You are going to love Cody, Wyoming! I lived just outside of Cody for two years & loved it! I wish I could move back.
The Big Horn mountains have great public access, and you can buy a leftover area-37 cow elk permit this year after the drawing is over. The cost of a non-resident cow elk license is $302.00, this will get you out hunting this year.
Wyoming department of Game and Fish has an office in Cody, they were a big help to me after I moved to Wyoming.
