When you think of Wyoming wildlife, the first thought that comes to mind is probably the epic grizzlies and wolves of Yellowstone – when in fact you might not realize the amazing diversity of Rocky Mountain wildlife that live in the Bighorn Mountain region. Under no threat of a grizzly or wolf encounter, you’ll find whitetail and mule deer, along with elk, moose, pronghorn and much more in their native, natural habitat. What you won’t find here are entry fees or traffic jams…this is the real deal, so please give every animal the distance and respect it deserves as you enjoy the wildlife of the Bighorns.

Chances are very good that you’re going to find some sort of native critter just from passing through; however, we’ve gone one step further and identified a few of those spots that we know will up the odds of an incredible wildlife viewing experience.
