Argentina: A Hunter’s Dream Destination

Species: Red Stag
Location: Argentina

If you love chasing elk during the rut, Argentina offers an unforgettable off-season alternative: hunting trophy red stag during the roar. Beyond stags, the country boasts an abundance of other world-class game (axis deer, Asiatic water buffalo, blackbuck, sheep, etc.), stunning landscapes, and unmatched hospitality. Worldwide Trophy Adventures has partnered with the best outfitters in Argentina to ensure your trip delivers the same adrenaline-pumping excitement as elk hunting, only in a completely different part of the world. From planning the trip to ensuring your trophy gets home, WTA makes this dream adventure seamless, easy and unforgettable.

Travel Made Simple

Getting to Argentina is surprisingly simple. There are direct overnight flights from major U.S. cities like Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami to Buenos Aires. Once you land, WTA’s partner outfitters take care of everything from ground transportation to the nitty gritty of the hunt. Bringing your own rifle? WTA consultants guide you through the paperwork to make it hassle-free. If you prefer traveling light, high-quality camp rifles are readily available and can make the travel experience much easier. Archery gear? No problem. Argentina is archery-friendly and perfect for bowhunters seeking a challenge.

La Pampa: Trophy Red Stag and More

If you’re interested in hunting monster red stag, blackbuck, axis deer, or Asiatic water buffalo, the La Pampa region in Argentina is the place for you. The free-range stags are among the biggest in the world, rivaling those found in New Zealand. If you’re hoping for a gigantic stag (think 450 to 500 inches) the estate hunts are for you.

The hunting in La Pampa is accessible and productive, with experienced guides using spot-and-stalk techniques to get hunters within range of mature animals. The roar is when you’ll want to chase stags. Think the excitement of bugling elk but in a different hemisphere. March is the peak of the roar, and WTA’s consultants often have this area booked solid during the season. This region also offers a variety of exotic sheep species.

Rugged Adventures in Patagonia

Patagonia is the place for hunters seeking a more challenging experience. Its mountainous terrain is reminiscent of the American West. These hunts often involve horseback riding and climbing pine-covered ridges. Patagonia’s stags aren’t as big as La Pampa’s, but the incredible country you’re in and the adventure-style hunt more than make up for it.

WTA works with a world-class outfitter in Patagonia that has exclusive access to a 200,000-acre ranch. Hunters who are up for an adventure-style hunt will find everything they’re looking for. This is a true wilderness hunt.

Add-On Options

One of the best parts about hunting in Argentina combining your hunt with fishing and wingshooting. Patagonia’s fishing is fantastic. Anglers come from all over the world to fish for trout and golden dorado. Argentina is well known for its dove hunts. You’ll have the opportunity to shoot hundreds of birds in a single day. These options may seem overwhelming, but we’ll help you sort it out. Our consultants can help you build an itinerary that combines hunting, fishing and wingshooting in one well-rounded experience, if you prefer a mixed-bag trip.

Comfort and Hospitality

Our vetted outfitters provide hunters with comfortable accommodations, which can be nice after a long day of hunting. Our partner lodges feature private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, inviting common areas, and gourmet food. Each day starts with a hearty breakfast, a break midday for a gourmet lunch, and things wind down with evening cocktails and dinner. You’ll experience delicious Argentine cuisine and local wines.

Hassle-Free Trophy Preparation

Our outfitters manage every detail once your hunt is done to prepare and export your trophy. Skulls are boiled and hides are dried for you. A team of trusted brokers manages the entire process, ensuring your trophy meets all regulations and arrives home in perfect condition, ready for your taxidermist.

The WTA Advantage

Booking an international hunt can feel overwhelming but our team makes it easy. We’ve locked down the top-tier outfitters in the country and have a team of consultants ready to help you plan every detail. We’ll do everything possible to make sure you have a seamless and unforgettable adventure.

Argentina offers a wonderful mix of hunting, fishing, and wingshooting opportunities. It’s a dream hunt for many, and WTA can help you make the dream come true. Contact a WTA consultant today to start planning your adventure.

Against the Odds: Drawing Back-to-Back Sheep and Goat Tags 

Against the Odds: Drawing Back-to-Back Sheep and Goat Tags 

Drawing a sheep tag with 1-in-5,300 odds is amazing. Drawing a mountain goat tag the next year? That’s lottery luck. That’s why it didn’t seem real when my WTA consultant, Jordan Roche, called me two years in a row with that news!

I’d been working with Jordan at WTA TAGS for about five years, letting him manage my hunting applications in multiple states while I focused on staying in shape for whatever hunts might come through. When he called about the Tok Range Dall sheep tag (the only non-resident permit out of 10 total), I knew it was special.

After the excitement of drawing my tag settled in, it was time to find the right outfitter to make my hunt a success. WTA recommended one of their top partners for that area and handled every detail. My outfitter made it clear: this would be a backpack hunt in some of Alaska’s toughest sheep country. At 64, with two hip replacements, I can’t run anymore. But I can hike. So that’s how I prepared—I hiked mile after mile with a weighted pack, knowing the Tok doesn’t care about age or medical history.

We went in a day and a half before the season opened and spotted a band of 14 rams, including one heavy-horned giant that immediately caught our attention. Then Alaska did what Alaska does best. Weather rolled in, the rams vanished, and we spent the three days scouring valleys and ridges to find them again.

When we finally relocated them, we had to break camp and make a major move. After a full day’s work, we spotted six rams bedding down as evening fell. The next morning, we made our play.

The wind that day was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. It sounded like a freight train roaring up the mountain; gusting, dying, gusting again. At 320 yards, I had to time my shot during the lulls. My first shot went wide in the wind. The second shot dropped him—a beautiful 39″ ram. Honestly, I didn’t care about the number. That’s not why I hunt. I’m in it for the experience and a good animal. This ram was both.

The pack-out was its own adventure. We crossed the glacier-fed Tok River multiple times before Matt showed up with a Korean War-era military vehicle that could go just about anywhere. After nine days in the mountains, that slow, bumpy ride was a step up from travelling another 10 miles on foot. This was a trip I’ll never forget.

When Jordan called me in February 2025 to tell me I’d drawn a mountain goat tag, I actually laughed. “Figure out something for next year,” I told him, knowing the odds of a three-peat were one in a million. But first, it was time to prepare for my goat hunt.

I flew into Homer at the end of August, expecting to start hunting on Tuesday. By Monday evening, my outfitter, Paul, was warning me about the incoming weather. “We might not get you in until Friday,” he said. He wasn’t kidding. We sat through three days of howling wind, driving rain, and zero visibility before finally getting our chance.

Paul operates from a landing craft that serves as a mobile base camp. But getting from sea level to where the goats live? That was the hardest climb I’ve ever done, and I’ve completed five sheep hunts.

It was only 1,500 vertical feet, but every step came wrapped in devil’s club thorns, soaking brush, deadfall, and rain-slicked cliff bands. We hiked for what seemed like an eternity before stopping for the night to set up camp.

The next morning changed everything. Once above that coastal jungle, the alpine opened up to reveal why we’d suffered through that brutal climb. There were mountain goats everywhere. Good billies. The kind that makes you forget about devil’s club and exhaustion.

I took my billy on August 30, the first day of actual hunting after being sidelined due to weather. While packing him out, we witnessed something I’d never seen: ravens harassing a billy goat. They would swoop within inches of his head, and he’d swing his horns, trying to knock them away. Paul had told me about this strange relationship between ravens and goats, but seeing it firsthand was incredible.

The trip down gave us one more show. A black bear, fat from gorging on berries, army-crawled through the blueberry patches, entertained us from 400 yards away. I had a bear tag, but watching him was worth more than any trophy. Crossing salmon-choked streams on the way out completed the full Alaskan experience.

Both hunts worked because of solid preparation and connections with the right team. Jordan, my WTA consultant, had been helping me strategically build points and select units for years. When the draw results came through, WTA’s network meant proven outfitters were ready and handled every detail. They provided thorough gear lists, arranged logistics, and coordinated air charters. Everything was dialed in.

Some guys chase record books. Others chase hunting milestones. I finished my slam in 2019 with a desert ram, but what excites me most these days is the experience—the hunts that test you, humble you, and stay with you long after the pack is unloaded. When you work with the right people and put in the preparation, amazing things can happen. Jordan’s already working on my applications for 2026, so we’ll see what adventure comes through next.

Wyoming’s Preference Point Deadline Is Approaching: October 31

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.

Watch Wyoming Video

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.

Serious hunters know that Montana is home to some of North America’s most coveted species: Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, Shiras moose, mountain goat, and antelope. The key to unlocking these dream hunts is building points, and the deadline to secure your bonus point for this year is September 30.

Montana squares bonus points in its draw system, and hunters with more points gain a significant advantage in the draw. If you’ve ever dreamed of chasing a record bull, a giant ram, or a heavy-horned buck in Montana, strategically building points will put you in the best position to find success in upcoming seasons.

Montana consistently produces exceptional trophy bulls, making elk the most sought-after species in the state. Archery permits are especially appealing, often requiring only 4–7 years to draw—a remarkably short time period compared to other western states. Rifle permits can often be drawn with a similar point investment, though trophy quality is slightly lower on average. Many of these hunts take place on expansive private ranches, providing hunters with excellent opportunities and high success rates.
