Win a Desert Sheep Hunt in Sonora, Mexico

Jason Berger
|  
Location: Mexico

The rugged desert of Sonora, Mexico provides the perfect backdrop for one of the most coveted hunts in North America: the desert bighorn sheep. It’s a hunt many dream about, traveling through breathtaking scenery while chasing giant iconic animals. Now thanks to WTA’s Desert Sheep Sweepstakes, you have the chance to make this dream a reality for just $100.

This animal and the arid mountain ranges of northern Mexico it inhabits make this a pinnacle hunt. Here’s what makes this WTA outfitter opportunity so special.

The Hunt

This hunt takes place on private ranches in the heart of northern Mexico where sheep populations have been carefully managed for quality for years. WTA has partnered with this outfitter for over a decade. Hunters regularly harvest desert rams ranging from the 160s to the 180s. World-class animals.

Sonora’s terrain is challenging but accessible. The small mountain ranges offer lots of great shot opportunities. The landscape is steep and rocky but the hunt isn’t as physically demanding as other sheep hunts. It’s a great option for hunters of all fitness levels who are ready to put in the work for a trophy ram.

Check out this video to get a sense of the hunt. On this trip, hunter Ira Conklin III completed his Sheep Grand Slam alongside his son. Ira had been hunting sheep across North America and looked to WTA to help him secure the final piece of his slam, the Desert Ram. The video captures the heart-pounding excitement of this hunt.

The Experience

The accommodations reflect the charm of old Mexico. Hunters stay in rustic yet clean and comfortable ranch houses, complete with traditional Mexican cuisine. The focus is on delivering an authentic experience with great attention to detail. While the setting may feel remote, the outfitter and guides provide world-class service, ensuring every aspect of the hunt is excellent.

Travel logistics are simple. Hunters fly into Hermosillo, Mexico and the outfitter’s team handles the rest. WTA ensures you’re set with gun permits, customs, and transportation. The trip from the airport to the ranch is relatively short with a drive time ranging from one to three hours, depending on where you stay.

The Hunt of a Lifetime

This is the hunt of a lifetime in one of the most beautiful places in North America. It’s a place with free-ranging sheep, low hunting pressure, and expert management. It’s an ideal setting for taking a true trophy, with nearly 100% shot opportunities. The outfitter limits the number of hunters each year, ensuring a high-quality experience that clients rave about.

This is an incredible chance to not only harvest a trophy desert ram, but also experience northern Mexico’s unique landscape and culture. Whether glassing rugged mountains or enjoying freshly prepared meals after a day in the desert, you’ll build memories that will last a lifetime.

Entering the Sweepstakes

This $62,500 hunt could be yours for just $100. Plus, you’ll earn WTA Bonus Bucks for every dollar you spend on the sweepstakes, which can be applied toward future hunts. Every $100 entry gives you $100 in Bonus Bucks to use as a deposit on another WTA adventure.

If you win, you’ll not only receive this dream hunt, but you’ll also benefit from WTA’s legendary service. WTA works with you to plan logistics, travel, and even supply gear list recommendations.

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.…
