Lander woman among three
WY Super Tag winners
CHEYENNE - Gina Thacker took up
hunting three years ago. She harvested her
first elk two years ago and also had success
hunting deer and pronghorn. This year, the
Lander resident has a chance to pursue another
species thanks to the Wyoming Game and Fish
Department's Super Tag raffle.
Thacker won a black bear tag in the 2024
Super Tag drawing held in mid-February. She
was one of three Wyoming residents to win
one of the 11 Super Tag licenses.
" That's awesome, " Thacker said. " I'm
speechless. I think it's pretty cool and I'm
excited. "
Thacker said she got into hunting about
three years ago with her boyfriend, who is
now her fiance.
The two other Wyomingites who won Super
Tag licenses were Dwain Campbell of Cheyenne
for pronghorn and Jacob Finn of Upton
for mule deer. Campbell said he's hunted in
Wyoming since 1987 and this was the first
time he participated in the Super Tag raffle.
Finn said he was in Mexico on vacation when
he got the phone call that he won.
All Super Tag winners were determined
through a random draw, and 119,387 tickets
were sold. Winning the Super Tag allows
hunters to choose any open hunt area in the
