Elk Hunts Available – Don’t Sit the 2023 Season Out

Travis Baker
|  

You put in for the elk draw and didn’t get a tag, or maybe you didn’t apply but wish you had. Either way, you would like to be chasing big bulls this Fall. Elk hunting is the iconic hunt of the West and you should not sit this season out.

WTA has a network of outfitters with private ranch land in New Mexico, Colorado, and across the West. And with landowner vouchers and over-the-counter tags, we can set you up with an archery hunt during the rut or a rifle hunt during late season. But we only have a select number of openings and we are booking now! 

Call us today and keep checking our website for up-to-date listings, last-minute cancellations, and specials. And if you subscribe to our emails and texts, we’ll deliver the alerts right into your inbox and directly on your phone.

Southern New Mexico Elk Hunting Outfitter – Guaranteed Tag

Archery: September 1–5
Rifle: October 8–12, November 5–9, December 27–31

Southern New Mexico offers some of the finest elk hunting in the West and this outfitter has been hosting hunters for many years with great success. These private properties are home to a very healthy population of elk with great genetics. The properties are lightly hunted, often taking only a few hunters at a time. Comfortable accommodations are part of the experience. The area is home to an abundance of elk, especially later in the season!

Oregon Private Ranch Archery Elk Hunt

Archery: September 2–6, 8–12, 13–17

This hunt is operated by a veteran outfitter with 20+ years of experience and conducted on 32,000 acres of private ranch ground in central Oregon. Elk are resident to the ranches throughout the summer and fall. During the first two weeks, hunts will be conducted from one of the numerous ladder stands, hard-sided box blinds, or ground blinds. Each of these sets is strategically placed over water sources, bait (legal in Oregon), or natural feeding areas.

New Mexico Private Land Trophy Elk Hunts

Rifle: November 26–30; December 9–13, 16–20

New Mexico elk hunt on several large ranches totaling nearly 500,000 private acres. This hunt takes place in the west-central part of the state close to the Arizona line. The genetics in this area are some of the best in the west, known for producing some of the biggest bulls to come out of New Mexico every season, including the current (440″) and prior (427″) state record bulls!

 

Colorado Ranching for Wildlife Elk Hunt

Rifle: November 4–6, 9–11, 13–15

Few places in the West can compare with the game-rich lands of northwestern Colorado. The two pieces of property that make up this 50,000 + acre ranch lie between 6,000–9,000 feet in elevation. Due to these large elevation changes, you find ecological diversity that can support large elk herds throughout the year. These late season hunts are the best time to observe hundreds of elk a day at times!

Utah Cow Elk Hunt – License Included

Rifle: October 9–11; November 27-29; December 4–6, 11–13

Looking to fill the freezer with some tasty venison this Winter? WTA has secured several cow elk permits exclusively for our customers on this huge private ranch. The property is located in western Utah and encompasses over 100,000 acres of some of the best elk habitat in the West. Hunts are guided 2×1 and must be booked in pairs.

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.

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.
