Hunting exotics in Texas
Texas ranch country holds more free-ranging and high-fence exotic game than anywhere outside Africa — axis deer, blackbuck, aoudad, nilgai, fallow, oryx and dozens more, with no closed season and no draw on private land. It's the year-round hunt: axis in velvet-free summer prime, aoudad in the Trans-Pecos mountains as a poor-man's sheep hunt, nilgai on the vast South Texas coastal ranches.
Pricing is almost always a package or trophy fee per animal — roughly $2,000–$4,500 for axis or blackbuck, $3,500–$7,500 for aoudad, with lodging often bundled — and a short-term nonresident hunting license (about $48) covers exotics on private land. Ask every operation the acreage and whether the animals are free-range or behind wire; both hunts exist, and the honest outfits are upfront about which they sell.
