Good morning, Sheridan.

Sheridan County celebrated its long hunting heritage yesterday when rifle season began on the Bighorn Mountains, inviting local hunters to pursue elk and mule deer in a tradition rich with history.

Historic accounts reveal family hunts and evolving game laws that continue to shape local wildlife management (and tourism) today.

Sheridan County School District 2 and District 1 were named the best in Wyoming for the 2026-27 school year by a website using state test scores and teacher quality (among other factors).

The report also highlighted high-performing elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.

Big Horn High School hosted a lively homecoming pep rally with pom poms, class cheers, and the crowning of Junior Prince, Junior Princess, and Homecoming King Cruz Hernandez + Queen Taytum Stookey.

Sheridan County School District 3 is now registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association to offer in-house CDL training at its site.

The new program gives local students a convenient option to begin their commercial driving training.

Residents in Sheridan are urged to get flu shots ahead of the 2026-27 flu season.

Sheridan County Public Health will host a vaccine clinic Friday, Oct. 30 at the County Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall from 7 a.m. & 6 p.m., with additional walk-in and shop hop options in Clearmont on Nov. 6-7.

On Saturday, Nathan Hunter experienced a lucky break when a mule deer buck jumped from thick brush to within 10 feet (a rare moment on opening day) on his family's private land east of town, prompting a quick shot during the hunt.
