First time I seen this since I have been hunting Wyoming. Deer and Elk opening date (Oct 15) for 2020 coincides. Nice, I can hunt archery for both before 15th and then rifle starting on October 15th.

Personally I like it when they don't coincide, less eyes in the woods at one time, but that's just my selfish reasoning.
I completely understand the convenience though for those hunting both in one area.
Archery hunt Sept. 1-30, then come back two weeks later on the 15th rifle opener, correct?First time I seen this since I have been hunting Wyoming. Deer and Elk opening date (Oct 15) for 2020 coincides. Nice, I can hunt archery for both before 15th and then rifle starting on October 15th.

I'm sure you meant this, Doug, but just in case anyone reads this from out of state and gets confused, I figure it's worth clarifying.
Occasionally they change the elk opener to Oct 1 in some areas. Makes for interesting hunting but lots more folks in the woods.
We had a general area do that one year and it was crowded opening day for elk and deer.
Some deer seasons were extended into the second week in Oct this year, right before the elk opener.
Good luck WyoDoug, hoping to draw a LQ tag ourselves.
Gotcha now. Yeah, with all the different season dates in different areas, I see what you mean now.Nope. I was looking at
Deer area 135:
131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 168 3 Sep. 1 Sep. 30 Oct. 1 Nov. 30 25 Any white-tailed deer
Antlered mule deer on a general tag is Oct 1 through Oct 6 right before elk season. But that I will be hunting locally.
Elk area 102:
102 Gen Sep. 1 Sep. 30 Oct. 15 Oct. 24 Any elk (Sept 1-Sept 30 is special archery season)
Oct 1 is opening elk season for 102. The Sept 1-Sept 30 is special archery. Going to draw a lot of deer hunters into areas with elk hunters going to be interesting.
