KIDS APPLY FREE FOR TAGS WITH WTA

by Mark Peterson

The TAGS division of Worldwide Trophy Adventures (WTA) wants to assist our young people in hunting for some of the most coveted big game trophies in the United States.  Therefore, we have a program where our WTA TAGS licensing application service is FREE for applicants ages 18 or younger as long as a parent or guardian is also applying.  In many instances, applicants under age 18 have far better odds of drawing a tag of a lifetime, than an adult.   The odds for youth are oftentimes 4 to 10 times better than an adult applying for the same permit.  A great example is elk in New Mexico, where in the world class Ville Vidal unit, the odds for a youth rifle tag are roughly 1 in 6 while the odds for an adult are roughly 1 in 70.

Applying early in those states offering preference/bonus points, you will usually increase your drawing odds much earlier in adulthood.  Can you imagine the opportunity to hunt a Desert or a Rocky Mountain Bighorn while you are a youth or young adult?  With KIDS APPLY FREE FOR TAGS AT WTA, it can happen.

Hunt the Fjords: Authentic Greenland Hunt for Caribou and Musk Ox

Hunt the Fjords: Authentic Greenland Hunt for Caribou and Musk Ox

When a boat noses into a remote Greenland fjord and you step ashore holding your rifle with an experienced Inuit guide at your side, it’s immediately clear that this isn’t a typical hunt. It’s not even a typical Greenland hunt.

Most Greenland hunting is centered around Kangerlussuaq, where larger outfitters operate within fixed concessions. WTA’s exclusive hunt in Greenland breaks that mold. Working solely with local Inuit guides Hans-Erik and his son Leon, this hunt takes just two to four hunters at a time into the wild western fjords in pursuit of caribou and musk ox. It’s one of the most intimate and authentic Greenland hunts available today.

A Different Kind of Operation

Based in Sisimiut on Greenland’s western coast, this is a deliberately small operation. There are no large lodges or rotating waves of hunters. Instead, you’ll stay in comfortable canvas tents with cots, enjoy meals prepared by Leon’s fiancée, and hunt open terrain reminiscent of Alaska’s Brooks Range. Only 15 to 20 hunters are hosted each season between August through mid-October.

From Greenland’s second-largest town, Sisimiut, you’ll travel north by Targa 24 boat into fjords where the guides have hunted for generations. This is nomadic-style hunting: glassing vast country and operating without confined concession boundaries.

The Hunting

The strategy is simple and effective. Glass from the water, locate animals, go ashore, make your stalk. Boat access allows you to cover far more country than land-based operations, increasing opportunities while keeping pressure low.

Musk ox success is essentially 100%. These prehistoric-looking animals are rarely difficult once found—the challenge is locating them. They’re especially well-suited to bowhunters, often allowing close, deliberate approaches.

Caribou demand more effort and patience. Trophy quality is respectable, and the experience is exactly what many hunters seek: challenging stalks, stunning country, and bulls worthy of both the wall and the table. These caribou deliver a complete hunt—earned, memorable, and deeply satisfying.

Cultural Immersion

With the 2026 WTA TAGS application season officially underway—marked by Alaska’s upcoming December 15 application deadline—it’s time to examine your strategy for the year ahead. At WTA TAGS, our goal is simple: to help you realize your hunting dreams. We can assist you in drawing high-quality limited-entry big game tags across the West, and help you build valuable preference/bonus points for the future!

More than an Application Service

WTA TAGS isn’t just a license application service provider. We’re a team of seasoned consultants and avid western big-game sportsmen who live and breathe this process every day. Our expertise allows us to build and manage your personalized strategy aligned to your unique goals. Whether you’re aiming to hit it big and draw a coveted bighorn sheep tag, build points for a dream elk or mule deer hunt, or secure annual opportunities to keep you in the field, we can help.

Every hunter’s situation is different, and every state’s draw system is unique. That’s where we come in. We study these systems so you don’t have to. From understanding point structures and random draws to identifying hidden gems with better odds and trophy potential, our team ensures your name is in the right hat for the right reasons.

Let WTA TAGS Handle the Details

The days of juggling credit-card charges, spreadsheets, usernames, and passwords are over. WTA TAGS handles every aspect of the application process so you can focus on what really matters—planning your next adventure.

Our tag-fee float eliminates the financial burden of fronting thousands of dollars in state tag fees (for those states that require payment for the tag upfront). We pay the tag cost on your behalf and manage the process from start to finish. When your application is in our hands, you can rest easy knowing every deadline is met, every form is correct, and every point is tracked accurately.
