I'm not saying that your law enforcement friend didn't give you good info, but I would suggest that you contact someone that deals with commercial vehicle rules for your state. Commercial Vehicle Officers (CVO's) have specialized training and hands on experience with towing and towing requirements.
They have CVO's in most states because the rules are complex and difficult to decipher just by reading the statutes.
Also, there are no reciprocity agreements between states regarding towing as far as I know. That means that just because you're legal in your home state, you might not be legal in another state.
Someone that can double tow in Montana, can't double tow in Washington.
I really doubt that the OP (who lives in Wyoming) has any intention of taking his double tow to Washington State.
In fact, the OP stated:
"I will not be pulling double further than about 100 miles and yes its legal in my state of Wyoming. This is mostly for hunting so a trip up the mountain is about as far as I will be going."
Seems to me that pretty firmly establishes the limits of his intentions.
As for me (I live in Montana), I have no intent to double tow. But then, I have no intent to go to Washington anyway, so it doesn't matter what Washington will or will not allow.
Reciprocity Agreements usually only cover driver licensing, insurance requirements, and registration. It is interesting to note, though, that even though my ATV is street legal in Montana, that does not mean that any other state will allow me to ride it on the public roadways!
Recreational vehicles are quite often exempt from Commercial Rules.
