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.

Hunt the Fjords: Authentic Greenland Hunt for Caribou and Musk Ox

When a boat noses into a remote Greenland fjord and you step ashore holding your rifle with an experienced Inuit guide at your side, it’s immediately clear that this isn’t a typical hunt. It’s not even a typical Greenland hunt.

Most Greenland hunting is centered around Kangerlussuaq, where larger outfitters operate within fixed concessions. WTA’s exclusive hunt in Greenland breaks that mold. Working solely with local Inuit guides Hans-Erik and his son Leon, this hunt takes just two to four hunters at a time into the wild western fjords in pursuit of caribou and musk ox. It’s one of the most intimate and authentic Greenland hunts available today.

A Different Kind of Operation

Based in Sisimiut on Greenland’s western coast, this is a deliberately small operation. There are no large lodges or rotating waves of hunters. Instead, you’ll stay in comfortable canvas tents with cots, enjoy meals prepared by Leon’s fiancée, and hunt open terrain reminiscent of Alaska’s Brooks Range. Only 15 to 20 hunters are hosted each season between August through mid-October.

From Greenland’s second-largest town, Sisimiut, you’ll travel north by Targa 24 boat into fjords where the guides have hunted for generations. This is nomadic-style hunting: glassing vast country and operating without confined concession boundaries.

The Hunting

The strategy is simple and effective. Glass from the water, locate animals, go ashore, make your stalk. Boat access allows you to cover far more country than land-based operations, increasing opportunities while keeping pressure low.

Musk ox success is essentially 100%. These prehistoric-looking animals are rarely difficult once found—the challenge is locating them. They’re especially well-suited to bowhunters, often allowing close, deliberate approaches.

Caribou demand more effort and patience. Trophy quality is respectable, and the experience is exactly what many hunters seek: challenging stalks, stunning country, and bulls worthy of both the wall and the table. These caribou deliver a complete hunt—earned, memorable, and deeply satisfying.
