Wyoming does a public drawing for bison around Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. I drew a tag a few years ago and an amazing, beautiful,lung busting,back breaking and some of the finest meat on the planet. I had pictures (digital) and lost them all. Now I use both film and digital.I used one my Shiloh Sharps in 45-90, shot a 3 y.o. cow @ 125 yds. one shot stumble, looked at me fell over dead after her heart was blown out. You can't use any vehicles to retrieve your animal for $200.00 a few locals with a teams of horses will get your animal out. I would have done it my self as the weather was cold,skinning and quartering out a 700 lb animal in the Tetons with wolves around was not a plan,it was $200.00 well spent.It would be plan today as there wolf tags for the counties around both parks.The hides are gorgeous the meat delicious, you go ahead and have yourself one helluva time with those kids and grandkids,you are blessed man to do so.
