Wyoming Super Tag hunts have a reputation for being special and many hunters dream of the chance to draw one of 10 premier licenses in the Cowboy State. For those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime hunt, there are only a few days left to enter the Super Tag raffle. The deadline to buy tickets is midnight Jan. 31. 

The Super Tag raffle includes 10 license drawings, one drawing for each of the following species: bighorn sheep, moose, elk, mountain goat, wild bison, deer, antelope, mountain lion, gray wolf and black bear. The Super Tag Trifecta is one drawing and the winner chooses any three licenses from those offered. Super Tag tickets are $10 each and Trifecta tickets are $30. 

Super Tag license raffle winners have the opportunity to purchase a license to hunt any open area for the species selected, with some exceptions for moose, wild bison and bighorn sheep. Winners retain all preference points they have accumulated. Mandatory waiting periods for sheep and moose licenses and the once-in-a-lifetime restrictions for bull bison and mountain goat licenses are waived.

Since 2014 the Super Tag raffle has raised more than $11 million for big game management and wildlife conservation in Wyoming. Last year 144,923 tickets were sold, which amounted to more than $1.87 million for important wildlife projects.

“Game and Fish uses Super Tag revenue to support on-the-ground projects that directly benefit wildlife,” said Brian Nesvik, Game and Fish director. “These funds are allocated to habitat enhancement projects, cutting-edge research and improving wildlife movement to name a few."
