Currently have a WY bear tag, put my 2 boys in for WY antelope gun and myself WY antelope muzzle loader. Will get my kids each WY gen elk & mule deer.
Costs more for my bear tag than it does for one of my kids to have both elk & mule deer tags.
Lost the pic some time ago, but found an old army ammo can under a hollowed out tree stump while turkey hunting that turned out to be a Geocache site. Sighed the logbook and added a turkey feather I’d found.

As stated before a bait site can only be gotten through WGFD and for selected open areas only. Further restrictions also apply to selected zone and distance it must be away from roads, water and campgrounds/ picnic areas and buildings. These last 3 alone can eliminate entire areas for bating...
I’m in WY and I’ve had zero bear activity at my bait and no fresh sign. A chipmunk and crow have been my only hits in the last 10 days. I have found several elk sheds at least.
