Game and Fish Commissioner donates Commissioner Tag to benefit the Wyoming Hunger Initiative
You could win a Commissioner Tag! The Wyoming Hunger Initiative, a program led by First Lady of Wyoming, Jennie Gordon, is raffling off a Commissioner Tag from Game and Fish Commissioner John Masterson. The Commissioner License offers an opportunity to purchase a Wyoming deer, antelope or elk tag in any open unit and use any legal weapon across the state. Only 300 tickets will be sold and are $100 each. All proceeds benefit the program, which has distributed nearly 40,000 lbs. of donated game to food pantries across Wyoming and helps Wyomingites in need.
