Exotic Hunting in Texas

scoring of free ranging exotics vs. high fenced game

Summary: I was wondering if anyone thought they should have a different scoring guide for free range exotics and high fenced exotics. I don't see anything wrong with hunting high fence but I think free range exotics should get a higher score for their size (or at least in a different category). A high fenc...

Wildlife Systems, Inc. - Exotics

Summary:

Texas has long been known for its hunting opportunities of exotic game species. The terrain and climate here in the Lone Star State provides a suitable habitat for various species of ungulates from Asia, Europe, Africa, and India. In many cases, the populations of these introduced exotics in Texas out number their native origin.

WSI conducts exotic hunting in Texas on several properties, and we do have access to a good variety of exotic game, especially some of the more popular species. Some of these Texas exotics include blackbuck antelope, axis deer, fallow deer, sika deer, red stag, mouflon sheep, red sheep, Corsican sheep, aoudad sheep, and scimitar-horned oryx.

Our recent helicopter surveys on H. Yturria Ranches indicated that our nilgai antelope populations are higher than ever.  Between the 3 divisions of Yturria Ranch properties, we have a population of nilgai antelope that is perhaps as many as 3,000 antelope!  Our camps feature private chalets with a façade similar to many African safari camps.  This is a 2.5 day, 3 night hunt which includes your guide, lodging, game care, and meals prepared by our resident chef.  Most of these hunts are scheduled in late September, early October, as well as January through April.  This is a great option for a corporate type hunt, and is also well suited for something a bit more private, such as a husband and wife weekend get-away.  Give us a call to discuss availability.

Texas exotic hunting can be done year around, but some species have better hunting at some times of the year than others. As a rule, the best time to plan hunts for antlered deer species is from September through January, but axis deer best hunting is from late May through September. All horned exotic hunting which include sheep and antelope species can be hunted year around.

Field Judging Pronghorns

Summary: Pronghorn antelope can be difficult to judge on the hoof. I was reminded of this on a recent antelope hunt in Wyoming. Three younger bucks and one mature buck mingled with the group of a dozen does near a waterhole. My wife, Heather, and I had looked at so many that we were beginning to question o...
