Super Tag ticket purchase deadline fast approaching

Super Tag raffle tickets are available for purchase until Jan 31. Created by Gov. Matt Mead and the Wyoming Legislature in 2013, the Super Tag raffle provides hunters opportunities for  hunting licenses and raises money for wildlife management in Wyoming.

Game and Fish Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt explained how the Super Tag works on a recent episode of Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program. 

The opportunity to hunt in almost any area does come with a few exceptions to the rule based on the species population of an area regarding moose, wild bison and bighorn sheep. 

The Super Tag raffle also includes an opportunity to win a once in a lifetime hunt, known as the Trifecta.  

Early last year, the Game and Fish Department announced that the Super Tag raffle raised $1.6 million for conservation in 2022. 

In 2022, 124,602 tickets were sold, nearly a 1.5% increase from last year. The program has raised more than $9.2 million for top conservation issues since its inception. The gains in the program are particularly impressive given the new deadline that halted sales at just seven months, opposed to the traditional 12. The annual deadline for Super Tag sales is now Jan. 31, which allows winners the opportunity to plan for their hunting trips.
