Whitetail’s Galore!

Judd Lee

As I sit here typing this, the whitetail woods are teaming with commotion.  From north to south, east to west, the majority of the whitetails are in some sort of rutting stage (with the exception of the deep south)!  This is a magical time of year that every whitetail hunter thinks about during the off season, all the way through those slow, hot, mosquito infested early season sits.  It’s GO time!  We’re receiving daily reports that early cold snaps from Canada to Texas have rutting action in full swing.  I hope everyone is getting the chance to experience this awesome time of year, because it’s truly something special.

Whitetail deer are thriving in just about every location they live and opportunity to hunt them abounds!  Here at WTA, we have outstanding outfitters that are ready for you to join their camp.  Are you tired of seeing people on hunting shows and on social media have all the success? If so, we can help you take some of the guess work out of the whitetail equation. Instead of leasing or buying property, which often takes up a lot of time and money, we’d like you to consider using our knowledge to align you with an outfitter that will meet your needs. Outfitted whitetail hunts start as low as $2,000 for archery hunts and go up from there.  We have many hunting opportunities that have easy to draw tags and we can walk you through those options.  Another consideration is our TAGS service, where we assist you in putting in for the popular draw states like Iowa and Kansas.

Whitetail hunting is the most popular species to hunt in the United States and there is a reason for that, it’s awesome! We can help you get out in the field this season.  A couple questions we’ll probably ask you when you call:

  • Comfort? Do you mind the cold or do you want a mild climate?
  • Style of hunt? Tree stand, blind, or spot and stalk?
  • Timing? Do you want to hunt early season, pre-rut, rut, post rut?
  • Weapon of choice? archery, crossbow, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader
  • Lodging amenities? Do you need cell service, WiFi, or television?
  • Trophy potential?
  • Budget?

No matter what the answers are to the questions above, WTA has an outfitter to fit your needs.

Estate Hunting: A Closer Look at a Misunderstood Hunting Option

Estate Hunting: A Closer Look at a Misunderstood Hunting Option

Estate hunting, often referred to as high fence hunting, is one of the most misunderstood segments of the modern hunting landscape. The term can carry strong assumptions, but those assumptions rarely reflect the reality of what these hunts actually involve.

At its core, estate hunting offers hunters access to large, privately managed properties where wildlife is carefully stewarded, and hunting opportunities are predictable, efficient, and highly successful. These hunts are not intended to replace traditional public-land or limited-entry experiences. They are meant to provide an alternative option for hunters with specific goals, time constraints, or physical considerations.

Understanding estate hunting begins with recognizing how the properties operate and what the experience looks like on the ground.

What Defines an Estate Hunt?​

Estate hunts take place on privately owned ranches or preserves enclosed by a perimeter fence. These properties can range from several thousand acres to well over 100,000 acres, depending on location, species, and management model.

Within these boundaries, wildlife populations are actively managed year-round. Landowners and outfitters focus on habitat improvement, water development, herd health, genetics, and balanced harvest rates. The result is a stable wildlife population with a strong age structure and consistent hunting opportunity.

Because animals remain on the property, outfitters can offer hunts with a very high harvest probability. In many cases, hunters can pursue specific age classes, horn characteristics, or species that would otherwise require years of applying or limited-entry permits.

What the Experience Is Actually Like

One of the most common misconceptions about estate hunting is that animals are easily located and harvested quickly in a confined space. In reality, many estate properties are vast, and hunters may never see the perimeter fence during their hunt.

These ranches often feature diverse terrain of rolling hills, timber, brush country, open plains, canyons, and river bottoms, allowing animals to behave naturally. Hunters glass, stalk, track, and pass animals just as they would on large private ranches or expansive Western properties.

Once on the ground, the hunt feels far more like a traditional spot-and-stalk or guided private land experience than what many imagine when they hear the term “high fence.”

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.

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.
