30 Bucks for a Chance to Win a $30,000 Elk/Rifle/Scope Package

$30 for a chance to win a $30,000 Utah elk hunt plus a Gunwerks NEXUS 300 PRC rifle and a Leupold 5-25×56 rifle scope. Even I can do the math in my head. That $30 represents an investment of 0.1% of the value of the entire package.

But the main point is, you’ll win a rifle elk hunt in northern Utah on one of the most prestigious Cooperative Wildlife Management Units (CWMU) in the state and the Gunwerks new rifle system and the Leupold scope, so talk about a win that keeps winning. Imagine a 300″+ bull elk on your wall to prompt a smile every time you see it, and the Gunwerks ingenious evolution of long-range rifle systems with a clear, crisp Leupold scope you can use on hunts from now until the cows come home.

It’s phenomenal. A dream hunt that promises to be a cool, memorable experience with the opportunity to hunt this 36,000-acre private ranch’s resident elk herd. I’d say bulls will range in the 300″ range on up, with most in the 310″ range, but they take 340″ and bigger bulls on an annual basis. I’d rather undersell and overdeliver. Let’s say you’ll target 300″ bulls but this hunt could produce anything.

I’ve sold hunts at this ranch, which is surrounded by other well-managed properties, for more than 20 years and the hunter reports have been outstanding. This is an extremely popular hunt that typically sells out over a year in advance. There’s high shot opportunity and a road system throughout the property makes the experience accessible to pretty much any level of capability. I’d say it’s a gentle hunt, in the sense of ease of accessibility, but I don’t want to jinx it. It’s hunting after all, so unknown factors can pop up. I’ll leave it at this: opportunity will certainly be there—what you do with it is up to you.

This is a 1×1 5-day hunt with an experienced guide who is good at field judging, finding, and stalking these elk. (Many hunters tag out by the third day, but again, I don’t want to jinx It.) Plan on a spot-and-stalk hunt, with likelihood of the excitement of calling in bulls. It’s not uncommon to see 50 to 100 elk each day. Rustic cabins provide comfortable accommodations and the home-cooked meals are fantastic.

The Gunwerks NEXUS 300 PRC rifle, an excellent caliber for big elk, is made entirely in-house at the Gunwerks facility in Cody, Wyoming. Every component is produced there so they can control quality and manufacturing from raw material to completed product. The Leupold 5-25×56 riflescope is icing on the cake.

Gunwerks and Leupold are long-time WTA partners. Many WTA employees can vouch for the reliable performance of Gunwerks rifles. There are great stories about them working flawlessly in the field. And Leupold’s reputation for sharp, concise, and reliable optics is unquestioned.

You owe it to yourself to look at the NEXUS rifle system. I can tell you about the features but you really need to see for yourself how well-thought-out it is. Consider this: it features an interchangeable barrel system (Think of the possibilities of easily switching calibers.), a new NEXUS stock design with improved vertical grip, a new NXT action, new magazine, and full-length ARCA/Picatinny bipod mount. Seriously, you need to visit Gunwerks.com and see it to believe it.

This is an extraordinary hunt/rifle/scope package that’s well worth the $30 gamble. Actually, you can purchase up to 10 tickets, and for every dollar you spend you’ll earn one WTA Bonus Buck, which you can cash in on your next WTA adventure or apply to your next TAGS portfolio. Just remember, they are valid for one year from your sweepstakes purchase.

Win this and you’re set up for the best hunt of your life. I know I’d be doing backflips if I won.

Good luck!

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.…
