CHEYENNE, Wyo. — On Thursday, Feb. 15, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) announced the 2024 Wyoming Super Tag winners, and noted that $1.5 million was raised for wildlife conservation during this year’s raffle.
Created by former Governor Matt Mead and the Wyoming Legislature in 2013, the Super Tag raffle provides hunting licenses for the state’s premier big and trophy game, and raises money for wildlife management in Wyoming.
According to WGFD, this year 119,837 tickets were sold. Since its inception, the program has raised over $12.5 million for top conservation issues.
“Thank you, hunters for your unwavering support for Wyoming’s wildlife,” Game and Fish Director Brian Nesvik said in the announcement. “Super Tag revenue goes to support on-the-ground work that Game and Fish continues to work tirelessly on. The dollars raised contribute to funding Mule Deer Initiative projects, big game research and reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions. By participating in the Super Tag, you’re playing a crucial role in protecting Wyoming’s rich hunting heritage for future generations.”
This fall hunters will pursue bighorn sheep, moose, mountain goat, elk, wild bison, deer, pronghorn, black bear, gray wolf and mountain lion or a combination of three species with the Trifecta.
The 2024 winners determined through a random draw are:
- Super Tag Trifecta: Aaron McCormick, Colorado
- Antelope: Dwain Campbell, Wyoming
- Deer: Jacob Finn, Wyoming
- Elk: Syed Abbas Mehdi, California
- Bighorn sheep: Samuel Hays, Texas
- Black bear: Gina Thacker, Wyoming
- Gray wolf: Jed Labrum, Utah
- Moose: Anthony Limbardo, New Jersey
- Mountain goat: Bret Miller, Indiana
- Mountain lion: Jason McKenzie, Virginia
- Wild bison: Lucas Bergler, Minnesota
Winning the Super Tag allows hunters to choose any open hunt area in the state, with some limitations depending on license availability for moose, sheep and wild bison. Lifetime limits and waiting periods do not apply and hunters keep their preference points.
