Wyoming

Wyoming is home to more pronghorn than people, harboring the highest concentration of the species on earth. Wyoming pronghorn undertake iconic long-distance migrations of over 150 miles between the Red Desert and Grand Teton National Park.

Massive herds roam Wyoming's Wind River, Absaroka, Bighorn, and Wyoming ranges, as well as the world-famous National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole. Trophy bulls weigh 700 to 900 lbs and thrive on rich mountain grasses and willow browse.

Famous for world-record genetics, Wyoming mule deer inhabit timbered foothill draws, mountain mahogany benches, and high alpine cirques. The Wyoming Range herd is internationally renowned for producing giant typical and non-typical antler frames.

Native sheep occupy the jagged granite crags of the Wind River Range, the Absarokas, and the Bighorn Mountains. Adapted to arctic alpine winds and vertical rock faces, rams grow magnificent full-curl horns.

Wyoming's northwest corner supports a dense and thriving grizzly population centered in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Adult boars weigh 500 to 800 lbs, foraging on whitebark pine seeds, roots, and ungulate carcasses.

Common throughout the river bottoms, willow wetlands, and spruce-fir forests of western Wyoming, particularly in Jackson Hole, the Snowy Range, and the Salt River drainage. Bulls carry broad palmate antlers.

Successfully reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995, gray wolves now maintain stable territorial packs across northwest Wyoming's wilderness complexes, hunting elk, deer, and bison in coordinated packs.

The largest land mammal in North America, with mature bulls weighing over 2,000 lbs. Wyoming hosts the continent's oldest continuously wild bison herds in Yellowstone and the Jackson Hole valley, featuring massive horn cores and thick winter humps.
