For many highly sought-after species and premier hunting units, "guaranteed tag" hunts are the most reliable way to ensure you're in the field next season. These opportunities are often limited and book quickly. Our experienced consultants understand the various mechanisms for securing these hunts and work with a network of trusted outfitters who have access to them.

• How "Guaranteed Tags" Work & What We Offer:

  • Landowner Tags/Vouchers (USA): In many Western states like New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, and Nevada, private landowners receive a certain number of tags for species like Elk, Mule Deer, and Pronghorn Antelope. Reputable outfitters often partner with these landowners to offer these tags to their clients as part of a guided hunt package. This provides access to quality private land or allows hunting in specific public land units.
  • Outfitter-Allocated Tags (USA & Canada): Some states (e.g., Idaho) and Canadian provinces allocate a certain number of tags directly to licensed outfitters for their clients. Booking a hunt with these outfitters means the tag is included.
  • Conservation & Governor's Tags (USA): While rare and typically very high-cost, these tags are sometimes auctioned or raffled by state wildlife agencies or conservation groups. Outfitters may occasionally acquire these and offer them with a hunt.
  • Private Ranch Hunts (USA - especially Texas): Many hunts for Whitetail Deer, exotic species (Axis, Blackbuck, Aoudad, various sheep/goats, etc.), and Feral Hogs on private Texas ranches inherently include the right to hunt, with licenses often being over-the-counter or easily purchased.
  • International Hunts (Africa, New Zealand, Europe, South America, etc.): For most international hunting destinations, the necessary hunting licenses and permits for the agreed-upon species are secured by the outfitter as an integral part of the safari or hunt package. Once your hunt is booked, your tags for the planned animals are generally assured.
  • Over-the-Counter (OTC) Tag Areas with Outfitters: While the tag itself isn't "guaranteed" by the outfitter in these public land scenarios, we work with guides in areas where licenses and tags for certain species (e.g., some general season deer/elk units, bear, turkey, small game) are readily available over-the-counter, effectively ensuring you can obtain a tag for your booked hunt.

• Popular Species Available on Guaranteed Tag or No-Draw Hunts:

  • North America: Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Pronghorn Antelope (primarily through landowner/outfitter tags in specific Western states), Black Bear, Wild Turkey, Feral Hogs, and a vast array of Exotic Game in Texas.
  • Africa: Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Sable, Kudu, Eland, Gemsbok, Wildebeest, Zebra, Impala, and most other plains game and dangerous game (excluding species with highly volatile quotas like Lion/Elephant, which require specific current verification).
  • New Zealand: Red Stag, Himalayan Tahr, Alpine Chamois, Fallow Deer, and other introduced species.
  • Europe: Red Stag, Wild Boar, Roe Deer, Fallow Deer, Mouflon, Ibex, Chamois.
  • South America (e.g., Argentina): Red Stag, Water Buffalo, Blackbuck, Axis Deer, Dove, Pigeon, Perdiz, Duck.

• Benefits of Guaranteed Tag Hunts:

  • Plan with Certainty: Lock in your hunting dates and location without waiting for draw results.
  • Access Prime Areas: Landowner and outfitter tags often provide access to private land or high-quality public land units that can be difficult to draw otherwise.
  • Save Time & Frustration: Avoid the complexities and often years of waiting associated with draw systems for high-demand tags.
  • Maximize Your Investment: Ideal for those planning a "once-in-a-lifetime" trip or who have limited time and want to ensure they can hunt their desired species.

Thank you Outdoors International!

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

I couldn't believe we won!

We won this fully guided, all-inclusive New Zealand red stag hunt in the OI Draw! I highly recommend this hunt, and Outdoors International—fantastic company, amazing meals, and hunts that are second to none.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity!

Thank you to Outdoors International, all the PH's and their awesome staff. I made some new friends and will be back to Africa again 100%.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
