Looking for something completely different on your next Texas hunt? ATX Outfitters offers one of the most unique exotic hunts you'll find in the Lone Star State. We're talking about Transcaspian Urial at Trophy Ridge Ranch – a sheep species that'll test every skill you've developed as a hunter. These aren't your typical Texas game animals. Originally from the mountains of Central Asia, these rams bring Old World hunting right to Texas soil. The terrain at Trophy Ridge mirrors their natural habitat perfectly, with rocky outcrops and challenging terrain that'll make you work for every shot. This is premium hunting at its finest, with trophy fees starting at $10,000+ per animal, plus daily guide fees and lodging. It's an investment, but for hunters seeking that once-in-a-lifetime exotic experience, nothing else comes close.

Inside the Hunt

Trophy Ridge Ranch sets the stage for what might be your most memorable hunt yet. The property's rugged landscape creates the perfect environment for these magnificent rams, giving them natural cover and challenging terrain that keeps things interesting. You'll be working with experienced guides who know these animals inside and out – their movement patterns, preferred feeding areas, and how they react to pressure. This is strictly a guided experience with single hunter capacity, meaning you get personalized attention throughout your entire hunt. The ranch provides expert field assistance, professional game cleaning and caping services, so you can focus entirely on the hunt itself. They'll also capture your success with professional trophy photos, because let's be honest, a ram like this deserves proper documentation. Daily guide fees run $250, with lodging at $100 per person, though meals aren't included in the package.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Hunting Transcaspian Urial requires a completely different approach than most Texas game. These sheep are incredibly alert and have exceptional eyesight, so spot-and-stalk becomes your primary method. The rocky terrain at Trophy Ridge works in your favor and theirs – it provides cover for your approach but also gives them escape routes they know how to use. Early morning and late afternoon offer your best opportunities when they're most active. Your guide will help you read the landscape, identifying travel corridors and bedding areas where these rams like to rest during midday heat. Shot placement becomes critical with sheep hunting, and your guide will work with you to ensure you're comfortable with your equipment and confident in your shooting ability before any opportunity presents itself. The terrain demands good physical conditioning – you'll be covering ground on foot, often over uneven surfaces and steep inclines.

Target Game Breakdown

Transcaspian Urial represent the pinnacle of exotic sheep hunting in Texas. These rams typically weigh between 120-200 pounds, with mature males sporting impressive curved horns that can reach 35 inches or more. What makes them special isn't just their size – it's their incredible wariness and intelligence. Originally from the steppes and mountains of Central Asia, they've adapted beautifully to Texas ranch environments while maintaining their wild instincts. Their reddish-brown coat with distinctive white markings makes them striking animals, especially mature rams during peak condition. Best hunting occurs during cooler months when they're most active throughout the day. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions, though these hunts can be successful year-round given the right circumstances. What hunters love most about Urial is the complete hunting experience they provide – challenging stalks, impressive trophies, and bragging rights that come with taking one of the more elusive exotic species available in Texas.
