This is a guided hunt that caters to serious hunters who appreciate quality over quantity - we take just one hunter at a time, so you get the full attention of our top-rated guides without any distractions.

Our guides have been working this ranch for years, and they know exactly where these antelope like to feed, bed down, and travel throughout the day.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Hunting blackbuck requires a different approach than most North American game, and our guides will walk you through the techniques that work best on Texas ranches. These antelope have incredible eyesight and can spot movement from hundreds of yards away, so patience and proper positioning are everything. We typically start before sunrise, glassing from elevated positions to spot herds as they move to feeding areas. The terrain at Trophy Ridge Ranch works in your favor - the rolling hills provide natural cover for stalking, while the open areas give you clear shooting lanes once you're in position. Shot distances can vary dramatically depending on conditions and herd behavior, so be prepared for anything from 100 to 300 yards. Our guides carry range finders and will help you judge distance and wind conditions for that crucial shot. The ranch roads allow us to cover ground quickly and quietly in our hunting vehicles, but the final approach almost always involves a careful stalk on foot. Blackbuck are notorious for their alertness, so every step of your approach needs to be calculated. Your guide will position you based on wind direction, sun angle, and the natural movement patterns of the herd you're targeting.

Target Game Breakdown

Blackbuck antelope are hands down one of the most beautiful and challenging exotic species you can hunt in Texas, and Trophy Ridge Ranch has some absolute giants roaming their property. Mature bucks typically weigh between 80-120 pounds, but don't let their size fool you - these animals are built for speed and can hit 50 mph when they decide to bolt. The horns are what really set blackbuck apart from anything else you'll hunt. Trophy bucks sport long, spiral horns that can reach 20+ inches, with the really exceptional animals pushing close to 24 inches. The best time to hunt blackbuck is during their rutting season from February through April, when mature bucks are more aggressive and less likely to immediately flee at the first sign of danger. During this period, dominant bucks will stand their ground to protect their territory and harems, giving skilled hunters better opportunities for quality shots. What makes blackbuck hunting so addictive is their unpredictable behavior - they might graze peacefully for hours, then suddenly explode into motion for no apparent reason. The contrast between the deep chocolate brown and bright white markings on a mature buck is absolutely striking, especially when you see them against the golden Texas grasslands. These antelope originally come from India and Pakistan, but they've adapted perfectly to Texas ranch conditions over the past several decades.
