Well, we have finally come to the end of the 2020 WTA TAGS application season. Hopefully you applied for some of the greatest, most exciting big game tags in the West and built another year of valuable bonus points. Better yet, hopefully you drew a great tag, then booked with a reputable outfitter and created a wonderful memory afield.

The 2020 application season was another smashing success here at WTA TAGS. We had clients draw everything from antelope to sheep to everything in-between – elk, deer, moose, mountain goat, free range bison, ibex, oryx, etc. You name it, we drew it. The photos included in this piece are just a small sampling of some extremely happy TAGS clients. To all of those who stayed loyal to the draw and hit the big-time – we salute you!

WTA TAGS 2021 Renewal Season

With 2020, in the rearview and the 2021 application season just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about your TAGS renewal. In the next few weeks, all WTA TAGS clients will be receiving their 2021 TAGS renewal statements in the mail. Upon receiving this mailing, please call your dedicated WTA TAGS Consultant. This is the time to renew your applications over the phone or discuss changes to your application strategy for the 2021 hunting season.

If there are five tips, we could offer regarding your 2021 TAGS renewal, they would be:

Stay Persistent – If you’re in the draw one year and out the next … that is a poor strategy.  APPLY APPLY APPLY year-after-year and keep building those valuable points. Eventually great tags will come your way!

Renew Early – Waiting until just before a deadline to renew is dangerous practice. Upon receiving your 2021 WTA TAGS Renewal Statement, call your dedicated TAGS Consultant and take-care-of-business. There is no safer feeling than knowing your TAGS application selections are in-play for 2021!

Add to Your Portfolio – The more applications you submit the better your chances of drawing something special. Your WTA TAGS Consultant can make recommendations based off your hunting goals!

Point Only – Choose – point only – as a last resort. Quality tags are not easy to draw. By applying for – point only – you remove yourself from the random chance of drawing the dream tag.

Go Primitive – If you only hunt with rifle, that’s fine … not a problem what-so-ever. However, if you bow hunt or muzzleloader hunt, your chances often improve in the draw and these weapons typically coincide with a more favorable hunting season. Your WTA TAGS Consultant can explain the benefits of different weapon selections in different states.

In closing, 2020 was a banner year and we are predicting more good times to come in 2021. Be a part of it
and get your WTA TAGS Portfolio renewed right away. If you are a current WTA TAGS client and you do not
receive your 2021 Renewal Statement by December 10th, something’s off. You should immediately call our
office at 1-800-755-TAGS (8247). We are here for you Monday – Friday, 8AM to 5PM MST. Your success is our success. Remember you cannot draw if you don’t apply! So, APPLY APPLY APPLY!

Remembering Our Dear Friend, Mike Mason

Remembering Our Dear Friend, Mike Mason

It’s hard to put into words what WTA consultant Mike Mason meant to WTA. He was far from “just a consultant” or a butt in a seat here. He was family. He was reliable in every sense of the word: a steady hand, a loyal friend, and the kind of person who brought warmth and laughter wherever he went. Mike lived his life with quiet strength, humility, and genuine kindness that touched everyone around him.

Born on October 20, 1963, in Kearney, Nebraska, Mike grew up with an undeniable zest for life. He was an athlete, a musician, and above all, a friend to many. After graduating from Sidney High School in 1982, he began what became a lifelong career tied to the outdoors.

Mike spent 35 years at Cabela’s, working his way up from the loading dock to purchasing agent, a role where his passion for fishing found a perfect home. Later, he joined Worldwide Trophy Adventures, where he continued to share his expertise, humor, and heart with his colleagues and clients.

Mike passed away on October 5, 2025, just shy of his 62nd birthday. His life was full, rich with friendships, family, and a love for nature, golf, and Nebraska athletics. He lived independently but never alone, surrounded by the community and people who meant the most to him.

At WTA, Mike was more than a coworker. He was a friend, mentor, and bright spot in every day. We hope that sharing these reflections helps you feel just how special Mike was to our WTA family and how much he will be missed.

A Letter to Mike from Jason Berger

Among all of us, perhaps no one shared a closer friendship with Mike than Jason Berger. The two worked side by side for years and shared an easy camaraderie that could fill any room. Jason’s words, both spoken at Mike’s service and written in a letter to his friend, capture not only who Mike was but how deeply he is missed.

“Mike, this past week has been rough.…
Limited-Entry Alaska Dall Sheep: North America’s Pinnacle Hunt

Limited-Entry Alaska Dall Sheep: North America’s Pinnacle Hunt

As the December 15 deadline to apply for Alaska’s most coveted big-game tags approaches, one opportunity stands above all others: limited-entry Dall sheep. If you’ve ever dreamed of pursuing this iconic high-country species, now is the time to apply.

Why this Hunt Matters More than Ever

In the not-too-distant past, Alaska suffered back-to-back-to-back severe weather events that dramatically impacted Dall sheep populations across much of the state, resulting in fewer over-the-counter opportunities and even closures. Hunters have been forced to look to Canada, where hunts are now largely sold out through 2027 and prices have surged beyond $60,000. Even at such outrageous prices, availability is scarce.

This shift has made Alaska’s limited-entry draw areas for Dall sheep one of the most valuable options left for serious hunters. With hunts priced between $28,000 and $35,000, applicants can still access very high-quality white sheep at nearly half the cost of Canadian alternatives.

Exceptional Success Rates

Despite the challenges statewide, the limited-entry regions—managed by very conservative tag allocations—continue to produce outstanding results for the lucky applicants of WTA TAGS:

  • 100% shot opportunity during the past three seasons,
  • 90%+ harvest rates on mature rams,
  • Some of the largest Dall rams in North America.

For those willing to embrace the physical challenge, this hunt represents the ultimate North American mountain adventure.
