As the most sought-after Western big game hunt, elk hunting spots fill up fast—but we still have several available for the upcoming season! We’ve compiled a sample of the incredible hunts we’re offering this Fall, all featuring either a guaranteed tag or a 100% draw for non-residents.

Southern New Mexico Private Land Elk Hunt – Guaranteed Tag

Archery: September 8–12

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 only taking a few hunters at a time. Comfortable accommodations are also part of the experience. The area is home to an abundance of elk, especially later in the season!

Colorado Affordable Elk and Mule Deer Combo

Rifle: October 25–31

Two spots are remaining for this second season elk and mule deer combo in Colorado. This unit is 100% draw for elk (apply by April 1, 2025) and deer vouchers are available! Our long-term outfitter provides high-quality elk and elk/deer combo hunts in northwestern Colorado. The majority of hunting is done on private ground where hunters have experienced a high opportunity on 4×4 and better bulls. Accommodations are in comfortable cabins with all the amenities of home. This is an excellent option for a first-time guided western big game hunt or for someone looking to put some venison in the freezer!

Premier Private Land Elk Hunt in Utah – Cancellation Alert!

Rifle: October 26–31
Save: $1,000

Cancellation alert! Northern Utah is the mecca for trophy elk hunting and this 36,000-acre private ranch may be near the top of the list. WTA has offered this hunt for years and the reports are always outstanding! This area has a tremendous population of elk and is surrounded by other well-managed hunting properties. Hunts are conducted 1×1 by spot and stalk and calling in the bulls. The lodging is very nice and the terrain is extremely gentle.

New Mexico Archery Elk Hunt

Archery: September 9–14

Landowner bow tag included! This trophy elk hunt in New Mexico takes place on 10,500 private acres of excellent habitat. The property is home to a healthy population of elk with some great genetics. This is not a physically demanding hunt. You and your guide will access the property on Polaris rangers or 4×4 vehicles and then on foot. The archery hunt takes place in September as bulls begin to bugle and gather their harem of cows. This is one of the most exciting hunts in the West, and definitely the most exciting way to hunt elk. The bow hunts are a combination of stand or ground-blind hunting over water holes and spot-and-stalk hunting with some calling. Accommodations are provided in a comfortable ranch house located right on the property.

Archery: September 26–30
Save: $1,450

This private ranch in northwest Colorado is an elk hunter’s paradise. The property is 7,500 acres surrounded by other private ranches known for their abundant elk numbers. The outfitter has been in business for over a decade and runs a very small, personalized operation. In fact, these archery hunts are all guided 1×1 during the peak of the rut with just four hunters at a time. This would be a great hunt for a group of friends or a family looking to have the place to themselves. These fully-guided hunts include ranch house accommodations and all meals.

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.

Serious hunters know that Montana is home to some of North America’s most coveted species: Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, Shiras moose, mountain goat, and antelope. The key to unlocking these dream hunts is building points, and the deadline to secure your bonus point for this year is September 30.

Montana squares bonus points in its draw system, and hunters with more points gain a significant advantage in the draw. If you’ve ever dreamed of chasing a record bull, a giant ram, or a heavy-horned buck in Montana, strategically building points will put you in the best position to find success in upcoming seasons.

Montana consistently produces exceptional trophy bulls, making elk the most sought-after species in the state. Archery permits are especially appealing, often requiring only 4–7 years to draw—a remarkably short time period compared to other western states. Rifle permits can often be drawn with a similar point investment, though trophy quality is slightly lower on average. Many of these hunts take place on expansive private ranches, providing hunters with excellent opportunities and high success rates.
