Game Profiles

Whitetail Deer

Whitetail deer are the most popular game animal in North America.  With one of the largest estimated populations of whitetail deer, and the intense management programs implemented by many ranches, it's no wonder that Texas consistently produces the most trophy whitetail in North America and is one of the most coveted destinations of whitetail hunters worldwide.

They are about 3-3.5' tall at the shoulder, weigh 90-125lbs, and have a white belly and rump and tan back, neck, chest and face.  Pronghorn hunting in Texas is regulated by permits issued to landowners and the season is 9 days long beginning on the Saturday closest to the 1st week in October.

Axis deer are native to India and were introduce into Texas about 1932.  Axis deer are red with white spots and are one of the most beautiful exotic species available in Texas, not to mention one of the best tasting.  Axis deer can be hunted year around, but the best time to hunt for a trophy axis is from March to September.

 

Blackbuck Antelope

Blackbuck antelope are native to India and Pakistan and were introduced into Texas about 1932.  Blackbuck have a white belly and legs, with a black face, neck, back and rump and 2 ringed horns that "corkscrew" above their head in a V-shaped pattern.  Blackbuck can be hunted year around in Texas, but the best time to hunt for a nice, dark black, trophy is from November to March.

 

Fallow Deer

Fallow deer are native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and Asia Minor and were introduced into Texas in the 1930's.  Fallow deer have large palmated antlers and are most commonly found in 3 colors,white, chocolate (a dark brown or chocolate color), and spotted (a lighter brown with white spots).  Fallow deer can be hunted year around in Texas, but the best time to hunt for a trophy fallow deer is from September to December.

 

Rio Grande Turkeys

Rio Grande turkey stand over 3' tall and weigh close to 20lbs.  Texas has an estimated rio grande turkey population of over 600,000, which is the largest in North America.  In Texas, the turkey season runs concurrent with whitetail season in the fall and from the end of March to the beginning of May in the spring. 

 

Hogs

Hogs, or feral pigs, come in all different sizes from the small (30-150lbs) tasty size up to the big trophy boars (200+lbs).  They come in all different colors or mixture of colors, but the most common are black or dark brown.  Hogs can be hunted year around and are very abundant all across the state making them a great hunt on their own or a nice addition to any deer, turkey or varmint hunt.

 

Javelina

Javelina are often mistakenly called pigs, but are actually part of the Peccary family. Javelinas are just under 2' tall and weigh 30-60lbs.  Javelina can be hunted year around in most of Texas and the limit is 2 per year.

 

Predators & Varmints

Coyotes, bobcats, fox and badgers are very abundant in Texas.  Depending on the ranch we hunt it's very common to see several, if not all, of these species.  All varmints and predators can be hunted year around in Texas and make a great hunt on their own or are a nice way to spend time in the field after harvesting your trophy.

 

*These are the most common animals we encounter while we are hunting, but there are many more species available to hunt including other common exotics and super exotics (over 200 exotic species available).
