Greenland Reindeer and Fishing Adventure – Episode 2

Species: Reindeer
Location: Greenland

On day 2 it was Kemal’s turn to try to fill his tag. The weather conditions continued to be favorable and it didn’t take long to get into some reindeer. We covered lots of area before coming across a small group with a big bull in it. They were on the move, but we got Kemal into good position for a shot, laying prone across a large rock, where a perfectly placed shot from the Gunwerks 6.5 PRC put the bull down. This reindeer had long points on top and double shovels! After a long day, it was nice to get back to camp, enjoy a delicious meal of reindeer backstraps, and good night’s sleep.

The next day and it was my turn. We woke to excellent conditions, but fog settled in by mid-morning, making for some challenging conditions. The lack of visibility made glassing from the boat all but impossible. Not to mention we had to navigate around the many icebergs! So our guide, Peter, beached the boat and led us on a hike to an area where he thought there would be some animals in the secluded valley. Boy, was he right! We were literally surrounded by reindeer, but the dense fog made it hard to make out if bulls were mature enough to take. The fog finally burned off by late morning, improving the visibility and hunting conditions. It was later in the day and we were actually making our way back toward camp when we spotted two bulls on a hillside. One of the bulls was noticeably larger than the other, with very good mass and long tines on his tops. We drove the boat to the opposite side to get the wind right and got up above the two bulls without being detected. They were feeding just below us when we caught a glimpse of their antlers above the rocks. We had to make a quick move to get into position as the smaller bull had us pegged and made the larger bull a little nervous. Luckily, they relaxed a bit once they reached a small bowl below us and I was able to put a well-placed shot on the large bull.

Stay tuned for Episode 3 when Matt goes for reindeer #2 and we try our luck with a little fishing…

Iowa: World-Class Whitetails, Premier Outfitters, and Expert Application Assistance

Iowa stands alone when it comes to trophy-class whitetail hunting. Thanks to a nonresident draw system and carefully managed habitat, the state consistently yields some of the biggest free-range bucks in the nation. WTA TAGS specializes in guiding hunters through Iowa’s draw process and connecting them with the most reputable outfitters in the state. Whether you’ve been building preference points for years or you’re just getting started, now is the perfect time to plan your Iowa whitetail hunt.

Kansas: A Whitetail Hunter’s Paradise

Kansas: A Whitetail Hunter’s Paradise

Kansas is at the top of the list for many whitetail enthusiasts. Why? Because big bucks are most often produced in the Midwest, and Kansas has done an excellent job of managing its whitetail herd for decades. However, tag quotas are decreasing slightly and application numbers are continuing to increase, making it more difficult to draw a whitetail tag. Non-residents can no longer apply for a tag in late April and be guaranteed to draw. In fact, with 0 points, first-time applicants can expect drawing odds to be less than 70%. Purchasing a whitetail preference point is now highly recommended.

Deadline to Apply: April 25. Draw Post Date: Mid-May. WTA TAGS Species: Whitetail Deer. Youth: Any age,…

The Ultimate Elk Hunt and More: Why Montana Should Be on Your Radar

A big bull elk is at the top of nearly every hunter’s bucket list. But the chance to acquire this regal trophy often comes with a hefty price tag, comparable to a new vehicle, or requires decades of bonus points to draw. The solution? Montana. The Big Sky State has impressive bulls and tags that can be drawn within four to six years, or often with some luck, even sooner. Not only do these expansive private ranches offer world-class elk hunting, but the opportunities for mule deer and whitetail deer are equally noteworthy.

Deadline to Apply: April 1 for Elk, Deer, Big Game Combo. May 1 for Moose, Sheep, Goat.…
