Win a Desert Sheep Hunt in Sonora, Mexico

Location: Mexico

The rugged desert of Sonora, Mexico provides the perfect backdrop for one of the most coveted hunts in North America: the desert bighorn sheep. It’s a hunt many dream about, traveling through breathtaking scenery while chasing giant iconic animals. Now thanks to WTA’s Desert Sheep Sweepstakes, you have the chance to make this dream a reality for just $100.

This animal and the arid mountain ranges of northern Mexico it inhabits make this a pinnacle hunt. Here’s what makes this WTA outfitter opportunity so special.

The Hunt

This hunt takes place on private ranches in the heart of northern Mexico where sheep populations have been carefully managed for quality for years. WTA has partnered with this outfitter for over a decade. Hunters regularly harvest desert rams ranging from the 160s to the 180s. World-class animals.

Sonora’s terrain is challenging but accessible. The small mountain ranges offer lots of great shot opportunities. The landscape is steep and rocky but the hunt isn’t as physically demanding as other sheep hunts. It’s a great option for hunters of all fitness levels who are ready to put in the work for a trophy ram.

Check out this video to get a sense of the hunt. On this trip, hunter Ira Conklin III completed his Sheep Grand Slam alongside his son. Ira had been hunting sheep across North America and looked to WTA to help him secure the final piece of his slam, the Desert Ram. The video captures the heart-pounding excitement of this hunt.

The Experience

The accommodations reflect the charm of old Mexico. Hunters stay in rustic yet clean and comfortable ranch houses, complete with traditional Mexican cuisine. The focus is on delivering an authentic experience with great attention to detail. While the setting may feel remote, the outfitter and guides provide world-class service, ensuring every aspect of the hunt is excellent.

Travel logistics are simple. Hunters fly into Hermosillo, Mexico and the outfitter’s team handles the rest. WTA ensures you’re set with gun permits, customs, and transportation. The trip from the airport to the ranch is relatively short with a drive time ranging from one to three hours, depending on where you stay.

The Hunt of a Lifetime

This is the hunt of a lifetime in one of the most beautiful places in North America. It’s a place with free-ranging sheep, low hunting pressure, and expert management. It’s an ideal setting for taking a true trophy, with nearly 100% shot opportunities. The outfitter limits the number of hunters each year, ensuring a high-quality experience that clients rave about.

This is an incredible chance to not only harvest a trophy desert ram, but also experience northern Mexico’s unique landscape and culture. Whether glassing rugged mountains or enjoying freshly prepared meals after a day in the desert, you’ll build memories that will last a lifetime.

Entering the Sweepstakes

This $62,500 hunt could be yours for just $100. Plus, you’ll earn WTA Bonus Bucks for every dollar you spend on the sweepstakes, which can be applied toward future hunts. Every $100 entry gives you $100 in Bonus Bucks to use as a deposit on another WTA adventure.

If you win, you’ll not only receive this dream hunt, but you’ll also benefit from WTA’s legendary service. WTA works with you to plan logistics, travel, and even supply gear list recommendations.

Wyoming’s Preference Point Deadline Is Approaching: October 31

Preference Point Deadline: October 31, 2025

The deadline to purchase Wyoming preference points is October 31. If WTA is already managing your TAGS applications, you’re all set. If not, don’t miss the chance to secure points this year. It’s the perfect time to talk with a TAGS consultant to start a new portfolio or grow your existing one.

Wyoming’s system is unique. Unlike other states, you don’t automatically receive a preference point if you’re unsuccessful in the draw. Instead, you must log in after July 1 and purchase your points separately. Building points is critical if you want a shot at drawing a Wyoming tag. Over-the-counter opportunities are a thing of the past. Today, only 25% of non-resident tags are issued randomly. The other 75% go to applicants with the highest point totals.

If you want to hunt big game in Wyoming, building preference points isn’t optional…it’s essential.

While preference points are an investment in the future, don’t let that keep you from starting now. While Wyoming has units that require 18+ points, there are also good opportunities to hunt sooner. There are elk, deer, and antelope hunts that can be drawn with 0–3 points. Think about it this way—the more points you have, the more options you have.

If you’re serious about trophy-class western hunting, Arizona should be a top priority. With coveted Desert and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tags, the chance to draw world-class mule deer permits, and outstanding opportunities for Coues deer, the Grand Canyon State offers some of the most exceptional big game hunting in North America. However, drawing a tag is no easy feat—Arizona’s structured, bonus point-based draw system is designed to reward persistence.

That’s where WTA TAGS comes in.

We do more than help you apply—we help you draw. And once you do, we ensure you make the most of it by connecting you with the state’s top professional outfitters, giving you the best possible shot at success.
