’Tis The Season – WTA TAGS 2022 Renewal Season

I know, it may seem like subliminal advertising, showing all these photos of happy WTA TAGS clients on their successful hunts in 2021. But we like seeing hunters with their trophies (and hearing their stories) so we thought you’d like to see them too. If there’s one thing we’ve learned in years in this business, it’s that hunters like to share their success stories and they/we like to hear about others’ success stories.

These photos are indeed worth a thousand words. And these are just a few we received and I had a difficult time (Not really. I enjoyed going through them all.) paring down the album of photos to these to show you—and prime the pump for next year. I guess it’s not subliminal advertising if I come out and tell you up front this is my way of reminding you that the 2022 WTA TAGS season is fast approaching.

So, if you are a WTA TAGS client, you can expect your updated TAGS Portfolio/Invoice to arrive in the mail in the coming weeks. Your portfolio will reflect your current bonus point status going into the 2022 draw as well as updated pricing on a boatload of hunting adventures. And, just so you know, it will also reflect any specific notes related to your application selections. (If you are not yet a WTA TAGS client, call and let’s get rolling.)

So, please watch your mail in the coming weeks because you will need to renew your 2022 WTA TAGS Portfolio/Invoice and to make it convenient there are two ways to renew.

1. Renew by mail: Simply fill out the blue credit card slip you’ll find in the WTA mailing, place it in the provided return envelope and fire it back to us. I always tell clients that renewing by mail is for our clients with a fairly straight-forward portfolio where no changes are needed from the prior year. It’s simple, quick, and convenient. Once your blue credit card slip is received in our office, we will send you a receipt via email confirming your 2022 application selections.

2. Renew by phone: This is the fastest and, frankly, the safest method of renewal. Once you receive your WTA TAGS 2022 Portfolio/Invoice renewal statement in the mail, simply call our office. If it’s a straight-forward renewal with no changes necessary, any WTA employee can quickly and efficiently assist you. However, if changes are needed or you would like to talk strategy (We really like talking strategy.), you will be connected to your dedicated WTA TAGS consultant. We can be reached at 1-800-755-TAGS (8247) between 8 am and 5 pm (MST).

That’s it. That’s what I wanted to tell you. Well, that and catch your attention (and subliminally plant a few seeds in your mind) with the photos. So here’s to wishing you the best of luck in the 2022 draws.

Wait. One more thing, please remember the key to drawing the West’s most coveted hunting tags is persistence. Stay loyal to the process and great tags will come your way. Trust us on this. At the very least, you will gain valuable bonus points that will help you in future draws.

Wait. Two more quick reminders. If you are a WTA TAGS client we will apply for your kids, 18 years of age or younger, free of charge. And if you are a Cabela’s/Bass Pro credit card holder and use your card for payment, you will receive those valuable points—and, speaking of credit card points, you can redeem Cabela’s/Bass Pro points when paying.

OK. Seriously. That’s it. Just know we are here for you and will do our best to help you draw the TAG OF A LIFETIME!

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.

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.…
