I'll tell you, I've seen some really resourceful people in Wyoming.

I've seen people using a wrestling ring and skeletons for their Halloween decorations, saw a regular window air conditioning unit in the side of a camper shell of a truck and the use of zip ties & duct tape to fix small issues.

Growing up, both of my grandpas were well versed in redneck ingenuity. One grandpa built his own camper and the other used an oil filter wrench to create a jar opener for my grandma.

They were both known to use some pretty interesting engineering, but not sure either of them would've thought to cut the top off their car and use it to haul livestock.

Listen, I get it...use what you have and save the money you'd spend on equipment you don't need. Those are definitely good words of advice, you may need to think long and hard about what equipment is essential.

What if you're raising bison, lets think of things you need to have.

  • room for the bison to roam
  • food for the bison to eat
  • water for the bison to drink
  • a vet for when/ if the bison gets sick
  • money to properly care for the bison
  • it's probably a great idea to have a truck and a trailer to haul your bison.

If the last one on that list is the one keeping you from getting in the bison game, we have a solution.

A video re-surfaced on Instagram of a cowboy taking his bison for a ride in his custom convertible.

I think we all know that guy or gal that would do this, and I thought for sure it was from Wyoming. Seems it originated in Canada, but I feel something like this could, would or has happened here in the Cowboy State.

Whether it happened in Wyoming or elsewhere, it's still funny.

Here's the original video from WMAR-2 News a few years ago, that I found on YouTube.

From Bison to Triceratops - All of Wyoming's Official Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. Wyoming is no different.

The Equality State, or the Cowboy State, depending on which state slogan you want to go with, has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

To be an official thing, a member of the state legislature must write and submit a bill to the legislature declaring that a thing will be the official state thing. Then the legislature votes to pass the bill, or not, if it passes, the governor signs the bill into law and we have a new official state thing.

Here is what we have so far, all of Wyoming's official things. Now you can win big on Wyo Trivia Night if that's a thing that exists.
