Idaho Moose – The Most Overlooked Draw in the West

If moose hunting is one of your bucket list hunts, you cannot miss Idaho’s April 30th – moose, sheep, mountain goat – application deadline.

Idaho only allows the applicant to apply for one of these species – CHOOSE ONE: moose, or sheep, or goat. This system equates to the perfect storm for those of you trying to draw a coveted Shiras moose tag, as the bulk of the applicants apply for sheep.

Idaho will issue up to 66 Shiras moose tags to non-residents in 2018. Moose can be found nearly statewide with quality bulls being present in almost every unit.  Draw odds from 10%-25% are not uncommon in Idaho, which is truly astounding compared to many other western states that can easily take 20+ years to draw a Shiras moose tag. With drawing odds often better than 1 in 10, applying for Shiras moose in Idaho is a no-brainer.

To apply, non-residents must purchase the $164.75 hunting license, and submit the $2,101.75 tag fee at time of application. Remember, if utilizing the services of WTA TAGS we’ll float this tag fee on your behalf! We make it easy!

If you are interested in applying, or would like further information, contact WTA TAGS at 1-800-755-TAGS(8247). The April 30th Idaho moose, sheep, goat application deadline is just a few weeks away so call us today!

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.…
