We have a 7mm-08 (Remington 700 with 24 inch barrel) and that is what my wife uses to shoot her deer each year. 139 gr. Hornady Interlock bullets in handloads work well.
A few years go she shot a Shiras moose using 154 gr. Hornady Interbond bullets, one shot put him down and one shot to finish...
We were there the next morning, along with about 1,000 other people. It was interesting to see the bear just laying on the carcass that he had mostly covered with dirt he dug out from the river bank.

This is not always true. One game check station in the north-central part of Wyoming usually has a game warden (sometimes a County Sheriff Deputy) there ready to run down those that make no effort to stop. Those vehicles may or may not get issued a citation.

I believe G&F requires a letter from your doctor indicating what your health issue is, etc. in order to obtain a permit to shoot from a vehicle.

Due to the sheep living in that area (Badlands National Park) it may not put down real distinct annual rings, so it would be more difficult to age, especially from a photo.

During my career I have had five coworkers (along with a pilot I did not know) die in plane crashes while doing wildlife related work.
One, a good friend, was in a coma for 22 years after the crash before passing on. RIP Len.

After running the "sighting-in days" for our local gun club for about 10 years which had about 80% nonresidents participate in the four days of the event, the one thing that I can say is the "average" hunter is a poor shot.
I can't tell you how many times I heard, "I just want to shoot a couple...
Just an FYI - the 2016 news release you linked to has the past qualifications for the "free" pioneer bird, small game and fish licenses.
The qualifications for the pioneer bird, small game and fish licenses changed due to legislation introduced and passed (SF106) during the 2020 Wyoming...
In Wyoming you get a free small game, upland game, fishing and conservation stamp if you are 65 or over and have lived in Wyoming for 30 years.

Call the BLM office in Cheyenne and tell them the two you need and they should be able to get you squared away.
Sorry, I thought you were trying to determine which maps you needed.

skyfire has a great suggestion. I have used the previous style of Marsupial harness for several years and really like it. I think I would like the newer style enclosed pouch even better.

I always carry a mask with me when I am out in the public, but it is not for covid reasons. It is for when I see someone that I do not want to talk to I quickly put on the mask so it is much harder to recognize me and I can avoid them.
Seems to work most of the time.
