Elevated, ground, or rifle, all of our blinds give each hunter maximum shot opportunity while preserving scent control & proper wind direction at all times. Each exotic species hosts its own preferences in terms of habitat, feeding times, and bedding locations.

Once a game plan is formulated your guide can help leverage the best of their abilities to get you in close and obtain a successful harvest.

When is the best time to hunt exotics in Texas?

Trophy Whitetail Deer || October - January

Aoudad / Nilgai / Scimitar Oryx || February - May

Axis Deer / Blackbuck || June - July

Sika Deer / Fallow Deer || August - October

Non-shedding, hard horned animals such as Rams, Exotic Antelope such as Nilgai and Blackbuck, Wildebeest, and Bison, can all be hunted year-round. However optimal hunting for each of these species is always during their given rutting period.

Antler-shedding animals such as Red Stag, Pere David’s Deer, Fallow Deer, Axis Deer, and Whitetail Deer are best to hunt during their rutting period. If you’re looking for an animal in velvet then some of our exotic deer can be hunted in the early to mid-spring.
