Good link, Wyo.
As for telling which is public and which is private land - a good BLM map helps wonders. Contact them for one in the area you choose to go -

Can you drive vehicles on public/walk-in areas? truck or 4 wheeler?
|
yes - but you have to stick to the road. As long as there is a dirt road, you're OK. I think it's 100 yards you can leave the road to recover downed game. No dunebuggying about on your 4 wheeler or truck, exploring - except in specific areas. Again, contact the BLM for specifics.

Wyoming Game and Fish Harvest reports. Here ya go, from 2001 to 2004:

What's the best rifle and caliber?
|
Totally subjective. But a rifle must be of at least .23 caliber to be legal for big game in Wyo. Bring what you shoot best that meets that. If you have a selection though - I prefer midsized highpower cartidges such as the .243 win, .308 win, 25-06, .270, 30-06, etc.

Any "must need" equipment to bring?

A camera and what you need to care for the meat!
I hunted antelope when in collge with my .270, a pocket knife, my Z-28 Camero, and a handful of ammo. And antelope just fits in a '79 Camero's trunk. Shoulda brought some trash bags to line it and keep the blood off...
Course that was a bare bones, basic hunt. I'd never suggest such to anyone for a trip - but I was a kid out in my backyard...
