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.

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.
