I was wondering if it is possible to draw a limited turkey tag in Wyo plus buy a 2nd general turkey tag good for the entire state? The regs are a little confusing.
My interpretation of the regs makes me think you can have up to three spring tags, but only one can be a general-season, over-the-counter tag. The others are limited-quota hunts that would require drawing one or both of those. I could not decipher if an individual can apply for and draw two limited-quota tags or if the only way to get that third permit would be if one of the limited-quota hunts had left-over tags.
I suppose there is probably something somewhere in the Wyoming regulations that would clarify that. I just didn't see it in my cursory look at their regulations. Perhaps someone else can give us a clearer picture...
When I called last year I was told two..one that has to be drawed and the other can be over the counter but only in a certain unit

I suspect that two is probably the realistic number someone could get, although their regs say no more than three. Again, I think the only way someone could get three tags would be by getting and OTC tag, drawing a limited-permit tag, and then getting another limited-permit tag from a left-over pool after all the drawings were done. Whether any of the limited-permit areas would have permits left over after the drawings were held would be the question, I think.
In addition, the window for applying for the limited-quota hunts has passed for 2022. I suppose someone buying a license could check to see if there are any leftover draw tags available, but I would doubt that there are. I suspect the OTC tag for a single bird is probably the only option at this point. However, I am just speculating.
I drew 1 limited tag and tried to buy a general tag on their website. I'm not exactly sure why the general tag doesn't come available unless I'm only limited to my limited tag?
