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…

Drawing Top-Tier, Limited-Entry Elk Licenses with WTA TAGS

Each Fall, hunters from around the world converge on the western United States with one common goal in mind: harvesting the majestic Rocky Mountain elk. A mature bull, often reaching 8 years old and weighing nearly 800 pounds, is seasoned with knowledge from previous hunters’ shortfalls and is a master at traversing the mountainous landscape unnoticed. The challenges posed by this species only sweeten the taste of success. The appeal of elk hunting consumes almost all of us, sending us down a daunting path. How do I hunt in the finest areas more often, with the best outfitters, at a fair and justifiable price point? The answer is simple. Apply for tags!

Each state across the West issues its most sought-after tags through an annual limited-entry draw process. Which means sportsmen are required to apply for tags each year. These draw systems vary vastly from state to state, and the rules continue to evolve. Certain states work great for hunters of every mindset, while others should not even be considered. Another key element is applying in the right units. It’s simple to find each state’s most desired area, but be warned that these often come with dismal draw odds. Understanding the up-and-coming and underrated draw units will monumentally improve your draw odds. The sheer amount of research that goes into applying for tags can be intimidating, but the quality of the hunts demands that the draws not be overlooked. This is where the expertise of WTA TAGS can assist you.
