Lot 42SN Wyoming - 2026 Governor's Tag for Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon, the WY Game & Fish Commission & Dept., the WY Governor's Big Game License Coalition and the WY WSF are pleased to provide the ECWSF with a 2026 Rocky Mt. Bighorn Sheep license for auction.
The 2026 WY Governor's Bighorn Sheep license is valid in any open hunting area having more than 10 Type 1 ram licenses issued.
The number of licenses issued per hunt area may change from year to year.
Seasons and license numbers for Fall 2026 will be finalized in April 2026.
In 2025, this license would have been valid in six hunt areas; #1,2,3,4,5 & 7. These hunting areas account for approx. 75% of WY annual Rocky Mt. Bighorn Sheep harvest.
The successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area that qualifies in accordance with the above.
The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area & may hunt different hunt areas.
The 5-year waiting period between Bighorn Sheep licenses does not affect the ability to purchase a Governor's Bighorn Sheep license & purchasing this license is independent of applying for a Bighorn Sheep license through the draw system.
The license fee ($152 for residents, $3,002 for non-residents) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a WY Governor's Bighorn Sheep license. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for WY Bighorn Sheep projects via the WY Governor's Big Game License Coalition.
Value – Priceless!
