Corsican Sheep Hunting at Trophy Ridge Ranch

Looking for a hunt that'll test your skills and put some serious horns on your wall? Trophy Ridge Ranch in Texas offers one of the top-rated Corsican sheep hunting experiences you'll find anywhere. These aren't your typical farm animals – we're talking about smart, agile rams with impressive curved horns that know how to use the rugged terrain to their advantage. With ATX Outfitters guiding your hunt, you'll get the expert help you need to make it happen, from tracking these crafty sheep through rocky draws to getting that perfect trophy photo once it's all said and done.

Inside the Hunt

Trophy Ridge Ranch sprawls across some of the most challenging hunting terrain Texas has to offer. The rocky hillsides, dense brush, and steep ravines create the perfect habitat for Corsican sheep, but they also make for a demanding hunt that separates the weekend warriors from the serious hunters. Your guide knows every ridge and valley on this property, which is crucial when you're chasing animals that can disappear into the landscape faster than you'd believe. This is a single-hunter experience, so you'll have your guide's complete attention throughout the day. No sharing stories or waiting your turn – it's all about you and that ram. The ranch's reputation for producing quality rams with heavy, well-curved horns didn't happen by accident. Years of careful management and selective harvesting have created a herd that consistently produces trophy-class animals. Most hunters spend a full day working for their sheep, glassing the ridges at dawn and following fresh tracks through the brush.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Corsican sheep hunting requires a completely different approach than most other game. These animals have incredible eyesight and hearing, plus they're built for navigating steep, rocky terrain that'll have you huffing and puffing if you're not in decent shape. Your professional guide will start by glassing the high country at first light, looking for movement and using the terrain to plan your stalk. The key is staying downwind and using natural cover to get within shooting range. Rocky outcroppings, cedar breaks, and dry creek beds become your best friends during the approach. Shot placement is critical with these animals – they're tough and can cover a lot of ground even when hit poorly. Your guide will help you pick the right shooting position and make sure you're comfortable with the range before giving you the green light. After the harvest, your guide handles all the field dressing and caping work, making sure your trophy is properly prepared for the taxidermist. They'll also grab some great photos of you with your ram, capturing those horn measurements and the satisfaction that comes with a successful hunt.

Target Game Breakdown

Corsican sheep are hands down one of the most challenging and rewarding exotic species you can hunt in Texas. These Mediterranean natives have adapted perfectly to the Hill Country terrain, developing into incredibly wary and athletic animals. A mature ram can weigh anywhere from 180 to 250 pounds, but it's those horns that really set your heart racing. The best rams sport heavy, tightly curved horns that spiral back toward their ears, with some exceptional animals reaching 30 inches or more in length. What makes these sheep so exciting to hunt is their intelligence and unpredictability. They'll feed in open areas during the early morning and late evening, but the moment they sense pressure, they disappear into the roughest country they can find. Unlike some exotic species that can seem almost tame, Corsican sheep have retained all their wild instincts. They post sentries while feeding, use elevation to their advantage, and can spot movement from incredible distances. The rams are particularly cagey during the fall breeding season, when their testosterone levels make them both more aggressive and more unpredictable. Spring and early summer often provide the best hunting conditions, when the animals are following more predictable patterns and the weather makes for comfortable stalking conditions.
