The Wyoming State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers,
hunters, fishermen, and golfers to take extra precautions and be on the alert for bears while in the Afton, Greys River, Alpine and Jackson area.
They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells
on their clothing to alert but not startle the bears unexpectedly. They also advise you to carry pepper spray in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity. People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and
grizzly bear droppings.
Black bear droppings are smaller and contain berries and possibly squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have bells and shoe leather in them and smell like pepper spray.

The number of Rifles and/or .357 Magnum Hand Guns per round of golf shall be limited to no more than four. (Per Golfer) In addition, golfers are limited to no more that Two (2) Six Packs of beer per golfer per weapon per 18 holes played. If golfer elects to carry no weapon, beer consumption is unlimited. (Except if driving the cart. Then no more than 24 cans of beer are allowed per round)
Any discharge of weapons by golfers when no bear is within 500 yards is punishable by up to three hours in the local drunk tank. In addition, any golfer who injures and/or kills another golfer with a weapon shall be held responsible for said injury and/or death... unless it can be shown that said injured/dead party was cheating at golf.
So you can see... Wyoming is a great place to plan your next golfing getaway! It is recommended that you plan your Wyoming Golf Trip in the month of August, so that a minimal number of days will be missed due to blinding snow storms, blizzards and Moose Mating hazards.
