The male trophy aoudad, however, carry thicker horns of up to 30 inches, sport a heavier mane of long soft hair along their throat, chest and front legs and can weigh in excess of 300 pounds.

Scimitar Oryx

The scimitar oryx once inhabited grassy steppes, semideserts and deserts in a narrow strip of central north Africa.  Since last century, scimiter has successfully adapted to the plateaus of South Central Texas.  

 

Cow Elk

For the quality and abundance of meat, few North American animals can compare to Elk Cow.  As cautious as a Bull Elk, these illusive and prized animals can be a real challenge to track down in the canyons and valleys of  the ranch.

Wild Texas Hog

Next to the Whitetail Deer, the Feral Hog is one of the most common game animals in Texas.  The sows are able to have multiple litters throughout the year that may range from 8 to 20 piglets.  Hogs are one of the most intelligent and challenging animals to hunt.  

 

 

Exotic Does

The exotic doe hunts combine the excitement of an affordable hunt with the benefit of filling a freezer with delicious venison.  Many of these hunts are also donated to Texas Youth Hunts and charity hunts.
