RE: wyoming bison hunt
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.

RE: wyoming bison hunt
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
