Imagine hitting the jackpot not with a lottery ticket, but with a license to hunt Wyoming’s crown jewels— that’s the thrill the 2026 Super Tag raffle just delivered to 11 lucky souls. James Richardson snagged the ultimate prize, the Super Tag Trifecta, granting him tags for elk, deer, and pronghorn in one fell swoop, while Phillip Kelley drew the pronghorn Super Tag, Jeremy Alberta took deer, Craig Shavlik claimed elk, and eight others scored species-specific wins from moose to bighorn sheep. This isn’t some casino gimmick; it’s the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s powerhouse fundraiser, raking in revenue from ticket sales that fuels real-world conservation—think habitat restoration, access improvements for hunters, and cutting down those heartbreaking wildlife-vehicle collisions on rural highways.
For the 2A community, this raffle is more than a feel-good story; it’s a masterclass in self-reliance and stewardship that dovetails perfectly with our ethos. These Super Tags empower winners to exercise their rights under Wyoming’s hunter-harvester laws, stepping into the wild with rifles or bows to manage herds sustainably—echoing the same Second Amendment spirit of individual responsibility that keeps government overreach at bay. The funds raised? They directly bolster public lands where we train, hunt, and defend our way of life, countering urban sprawl and anti-hunting narratives from coastal elites. In a post-2024 election landscape with SCOTUS potentially eyeing more 2A expansions, events like this reinforce hunting as a cultural bulwark, proving armed citizens aren’t just defenders but vital conservators of America’s heritage.
Looking ahead, snag a ticket for next year’s raffle if you’re in it to win it—odds are steep, but the payoff is pure freedom. This system works because it harnesses market-driven conservation, sidestepping bloated federal programs, and keeps Wyoming a beacon for pro-2A patriots. Whether you’re drawing down on a trophy bull elk or just cheering from the sidelines, it’s a reminder: our rights thrive when we actively preserve the lands they roam.
