West Texas Free Range Exotic Hunt

At the base of Southwest Texas’s Chinati Mountains you will find this historic 30,000+ acre private ranch. Founded in the mid 1800’s the ranch sits atop a volcanic crater causing natural springs to seep water atop the ground and rich soils were formed. The topography will vary from vast, flat, grasslands to rolling hills that lead into the rugged desert mountains within the ranch. This ecological diversity coupled with superior range management have created a mecca for exotic wildlife species.

The diverse terrain found here creates the perfect backdrop for an action-packed, free-ranging, exotic species hunt. Within the ranch you will find herds of American bison, aoudad sheep, transcaspian urial, scimitar oryx, blackbuck, springbuck, blue wildebeest, and axis deer. A portion of the ranch is game fenced on three sides, animals can come and go from this area as they wish. Each species offers its own challenge as they live in different terrain and employ individual methods to avoid natural predators and hunters alike. Most hunts will be conducted utilizing spot and stalk hunting methods. Shots will range from 200-400 yards with mature males being targeted regardless of species.

Upon the conclusion of each’s days hunt you will return to one of the lodges located on the ranch. The lodges consist of historic forts dating back 120+ years, each of which has been meticulously updated to offer all modern amenities without losing the remarkable history associated with each structure. Single & double occupancy rooms are available, all containing en-suite baths. Meals will be prepared by the in-house chef with a focus on serving authentic southwestern dishes that will deliver flavor and flair.

A host of activities are available both on and off the property for hunters and non-hunters alike. Within the ranch one can find multiple rifle range with the ability to shoot 1,000+ yards, 12 station sporting clays and trap shooting. Non-hunting guests have a wealth of opportunities available ranging from massages, yoga and historical artifact tours to simply relaxing with a great book by the pool, lake, or shaded patios. A complete list of additional activities and pricing is available upon request.
