MEXICO: Has Anyone Hunted With Worldwide Trophy Adventures (WTA)?

[DieJager]

That’s a great list. I got a coati here in AZ and can say it’s a very cool trophy. You’re making me want to look into this a bit more now. A jungle hunt would be a great adventure I would think.

Definitely some nice trophies. Did you get the coati to the taxidermist?

I went with the flying mount. Best of luck, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Just a tanned hide. Didn’t even think about it at the time. Next one I shoot will be a full
Body mount.

That is an exceptional mount, congratulations!

I’d like to do that particular hunt someday. If you do it, I hope you leave us a good report!

I’ve used WTA tags services a few times, talk to them about potential trips now and then. Booked a hosted hunt to Mozambique with them. I feel like any complaints I have are kind of nitpicky, and that they have been pleasant enough to work with.

I don’t think I trust them so much that I would just purchase one of their packages without doing exactly what you’re doing and putting in my due diligence. They do make things convenient and made me feel much more comfortable about putting down a deposits and paying trophy fees for an international hunt.

Will definitely write a report. Hope things work out. Will get in the next couple of months an update for the dates in 2027 and then I will decide. Also looking into getting potential trophies into Europe and to a qualified taxidermist that works with birds, that are dry and salted.

I am slowly started to write my report from my last hunt in Namibia from last November. But I am taking my time and as English is not my native tongue it will probably take a while.

Salted bird certainly adds another wrinkle, but I’m sure you will get it sorted out. Maybe you just need to get an American guest in camp who can carry your frozen bird to a US
taxidermist for you

Looking forward to your Namibia report! Namibia will probably be my next trip with my boy.

And English is my native tongue but I am just a crap writer. I ended up posting a much shorter report than I intended., the I intend. I realized I was never gonna post anything if I didn’t just post what I had.

There will be room. They have a few spots in camp and there will always be multiple hunters in camp what they have told me. So sign up

I recommend WTA to people, but only because they have something for everyone at almost every price point.

I follow their cancellations pretty hard and have been the 2nd place loser on a lot of cancellations that I felt like I should have had.

As in;

Have my email open, and see the email in my inbox and make a call to see if I can get it booked only to find they have it sold.

Not sure if this is an issue of them sending the sales email after they have things sold and then trying to bait and switch or not. Never had that experience, but never been the one to get on some of their cancellations.

They own a lot of their outfitters, which I think is admirable.

Every time I see one, I think "what planet is that thing from?". They are sure different looking.
