Exotic Hunts

While exotics can be hunted year round, there are certain times that may be more favorable than others depending upon the species pursued. For instance, you can hunt blackbuck antelope in the summer when they are more brown/white or in the winter months when they are more black/white. Scimitar don’t change color and they are true horned animals so they may be hunted year round yet antlered exotic game such as axis, fallow deer, red deer etc. shed their antlers once a year. The best time to hunt fallow deer starts in late August whereas axis bucks may be in velvet, hard horn or recently shed at anytime of the year.

The answer is almost 100% yes however aoudad sheep along with some other sheep species are not too preferred. Any of the African antelope and most animals native to India are delicious and should be considered excellent table fare.

Because you can hunt exotics year round it is very easy to combine exotics with; whitetail, hogs, turkeys, predators etc.

Spot & stalk is very popular. This is where you traverse a ranch in some sort of all terrain vehicle until game is spotted. Then hunter and guide can exit the vehicle in hopes of getting a closer shot. Hunting from blinds near waterholes and wildlife feeders is also popular especially for bow hunters. One of the newest and most exciting ways to hunt giant axis bucks is at night using thermal scopes and suppressors, especially during the rut when they are most vocal. These bucks tend to be very active at night when it’s cool, especially during the hot summer months when most of the breeding occurs. When the herd bucks are calling their doe it can be heard from great distances, betraying the bucks location. Hunter and guide can then stalk in close under the cover of darkness and take the shot with most being under 100 yds.

Absolutely you can. We have more and more hunters coming to take home more than just a set of horns, they come for delicious organic meat.

I love going on safari in Africa. There is nothing quite like it and I recommend to anyone and everyone GO on safari and experience it! Having said that, there are some species that are no longer huntable in Africa or India such as; blackbuck, dama gazelle, scimitar etc. Other species may be hunted both in Africa and in Texas. It is simply personal preference on how much traveling you are willing to do. Atlanta to Johannesburg is a 15 hour non-stop flight, and there’s simply no getting around it. For those interested in going on safari in South Africa we can help you plan it out since we hunt there almost every year.

Absolutely I would. You only pay the daily fee and nothing more until an animal is harvested. This relieves a lot of pressure. Generally, hunters will have multiple opportunities so if something doesn’t pan out there may be another opportunity just around the corner.
