Turkey Slams

Species: Turkey

Here at WTA, we book a pile of hunting and fishing trips each year, and it never fails that turkey hunts are one of our most popular offerings.

There is a myriad of reasons for the popularity of turkey hunting. Its another species to chase when the elk and deer have their spring/summer reprieve. The waterfowl boats, blinds and decoys are put away and the fishing rods just are not quite ready to come out yet. It is a very interactive hunt, great for beginners and great for kids, as they get to hear birds gobble, yelp, purr and cluck. Additionally, these hunts are attainable for the ‘everyday guy’ from an access and affordability standpoint. What I mean by that is there are turkey seemingly everywhere and even the highest priced outfitted turkey hunt is affordable by today’s hunt cost standards. Oh, and did I mention, it is just flat-out a bunch of fun to chase these dudes around!  All of these things make turkey hunting very attractive, but probably the thing I hear the most is the fact that it is a “Slam” that is achievable for most. We assist many clients, with completing their Slam, whether it is the last leg of their journey or they need everything start-to-finish.

The three different Turkey Slams are as follows below:

  1. The Grand Slam –  Which is the harvesting of the Eastern, Merriams, Osceola and Rio Grande sub species.

(I joke with guys a lot and tell them they are not finished until they come the Nebraska and harvest a hybrid, which depending on what part of the state you are in, could be a (Merriam/Rio) cross or (Eastern/Rio) cross. When you do that then you have the “Grander Slam”)

  1. Royal Slam –  Which is the harvesting of your Grand Slam plus a Goulds turkey
  1. World Slam – Which is the harvesting of your Royal Slam plus an Ocellated turkey.

Here at WTA we have everything you need to get in the turkey woods and complete that Slam. Our turkey outfitters have probably been professionally vetted. There is an unbelievable amount of turkey knowledge sitting in this office, and no matter which Consultant you speak with, you will be very well taken care of. We cover everything from Easterns in the states of Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky to Rios in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. We offer hunts for true Merriams in New Mexico, South Dakota, northwest Nebraska, Wyoming and Utah. Goulds in Sonora, Mexico, and through the draw in Arizona – and last but not least – the Ocellated turkey in the jungles of Campeche, Mexico.

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.…
Limited-Entry Alaska Dall Sheep: North America’s Pinnacle Hunt

Limited-Entry Alaska Dall Sheep: North America’s Pinnacle Hunt

As the December 15 deadline to apply for Alaska’s most coveted big-game tags approaches, one opportunity stands above all others: limited-entry Dall sheep. If you’ve ever dreamed of pursuing this iconic high-country species, now is the time to apply.

Why this Hunt Matters More than Ever

In the not-too-distant past, Alaska suffered back-to-back-to-back severe weather events that dramatically impacted Dall sheep populations across much of the state, resulting in fewer over-the-counter opportunities and even closures. Hunters have been forced to look to Canada, where hunts are now largely sold out through 2027 and prices have surged beyond $60,000. Even at such outrageous prices, availability is scarce.

This shift has made Alaska’s limited-entry draw areas for Dall sheep one of the most valuable options left for serious hunters. With hunts priced between $28,000 and $35,000, applicants can still access very high-quality white sheep at nearly half the cost of Canadian alternatives.

Exceptional Success Rates

Despite the challenges statewide, the limited-entry regions—managed by very conservative tag allocations—continue to produce outstanding results for the lucky applicants of WTA TAGS:

  • 100% shot opportunity during the past three seasons,
  • 90%+ harvest rates on mature rams,
  • Some of the largest Dall rams in North America.

For those willing to embrace the physical challenge, this hunt represents the ultimate North American mountain adventure.
