Red Sheep Hunts
Gregarious and extremely wary; these red sheep will take flight at long distances if disturbed. Our exotic red sheep hunts are available year around.
Four Horned Sheep Hunts
4 Horned Sheep are primitive sheep that resemble goats in their conformation. The rams weigh about 120-180 lb., ewes 80-120 with angular, triangular faces, thin legs, and long bodies with sloped rumps. They are primitive multi-horned sheep, with multicolored patterns. Their meat and hide are considered valuable. Ram horns average 22 to 25 inches.
Gemsbok
Gemsbok are about 4 ft 7 inches at the shoulder, and males can weigh between 510–550 lb while females weigh 440–460 lb. They can reach running speeds of up to 35 mph. Our exotic Gemsbok hunts are available year around.
Javelina
Javelina are medium-sized Peccaries , with a strong superficial resemblance to pigs. Like pigs, they have a snout ending in a cartilagenous disc, and eyes that are small relative to their head. Hunting Season is year round with good animals of tusk lengths averaging 1.5 to 2 inches.
Blackbuck
The distinctive horns of the Blackbuck are ringed with 1 to 4 spiral turns, rarely more than 4 turns, and can be as long as 25 inches straight tape. A trophy Blackbuck is greater than 18 in. In the male, the upper body is black (dark brown), and the belly and eye rings are white. The light-brown female is usually hornless.
Longhorn
Nilgai
The nilgai is the biggest Asian antelope. Nilgai stand 4-5 feet at the shoulder and are 6-6.6 feet long. Mature nilgai typically weigh 260 - 500 lb. Over 60% of births result in twins, though births of 1 or 3 do occur. They reach sexual maturity at around 18 months and can live as long as 21 years.
Scimitar oryx
All oryx species prefer near-desert conditions and can survive without water for long periods. They live in herds of up to 600 animals. Newborn calves are able to run with the herd immediately after birth. Both males and females possess permanent horns. The horns are narrow, and straight except in the scimitar oryx, where they curve backwards like a scimitar. The horns are lethal—the oryx has been known to kill lions with them—and oryxes are thus sometimes called the sabre antelope. The horns also make the animals a prized game trophy. The oryx could be the origin of the fabled unicorn. Some say that if you see it on the side from a distance, the two horns look like one.
The oryx is a large antelope with long, spear-like horns, is a true desert animal. It has a thick, horse-like neck with a short mane and a compact, muscular body. A defined pattern of black markings that contrast with the white face and fawn-colored body are prominently displayed in dominance rituals to emphasize the length of horns and strength of the shoulder.
Axis
Its coat is reddish fawn, marked with white spots, and its under parts are white. Its antlers, which it sheds annually, are usually three-pronged and curve in a lyre shape and may extend to 28 to 35 inches and are normally 6 points. It has a protracted breeding season due in part to the climate, and births can occur throughout the year. For this reason, males do not have their antler cycles in synchrony and there are some fertile females at all times of the year. Males sporting hard antlers are dominant over those in velvet or those without antlers, irrespective of their size and other factors. A chital stands about 90 cm (3 ft) tall at the shoulder and masses about 187 lb. Lifespan is around 20-30 years.
Lechwe
Males are an average of 65 in long and 39–41 in tall at the shoulders, and weigh between 200 and 260 lbs, while females are an average of 53 in long, 31–33 in tall at the shoulders, and weigh 130–200 lbs. Lechwes live an average of 10 to 11.5 years, and most uncommonly 19 years.
Their coats are shaggy with the hair on the cheeks particularly long in both sexes, and males may have even longer hair on their necks. Females are golden-brown with white underbellies and no horns. Adult males are blackish-brown to russet with white 'hoods' over their shoulders and small white patches over their eyes. The horns of the adult males are 20–34 in long, strongly ridged at their bases and are curved at the tips.
Mouflon
The mouflon is thought to be one of the two ancestors for all modern domestic sheep breeds. It is red-brown with a dark back-stripe, light colored saddle patch and underparts. The males are horned; some females are horned while others lack horns. Mouflon have a shoulder height of about 35 inches and a body weight of 110 lb.(males) and 75 lb. (females). Average horn length is 27 to 33 inches and are hunted in Uvalde, Real and Zavala counties.
