Red Sheep Hunting
Red Sheep Hunting Details
Texas Hunt Lodge is a premier destination for hunting the rare Rusa Deer, offering one of the few opportunities in North America to pursue this elusive game species. Originating from Southeast Asia, Rusa Deer were introduced to Texas and have established thriving wildlife populations. With no seasonal restrictions on hunting the Rusa in Texas, hunters can target them when they are hard-antlered, making it a suitable trophy year-round.
We prioritize our hunters’ preferences when it comes to the hunting method for Trophy Rusa. Whether you prefer Spot and Stalk, Bow Hunting, Rifle Hunting, Black Powder, Safari Style Hunting, Handgun, or hunting from a Blind, we ensure a tailored guided experience for hunters of all ages and experience levels.
Using proper camouflage and the right scope, along with the best ammunition, will enhance your hunting trip. Rusa Deer, also known as Javan Rusa or Sunda Sambar, originate from Southeast Asia. They are native to regions such as Indonesia, including Java, Bali, and Timor, as well as parts of Southeast Asia like Thailand and Malaysia.

Some of our Trophy Red Sheep will have horns which sway further back behind the neck than others. Other Red Sheep which more resemble a Transcaspian Urial will exhibit heavier mass and come in front of the neck.
The red sheep is a hybrid between the Armenian mouflon (Ovis gmelini gmelini) and the trans-Caspian urial (O. vignei arkal), which occurs naturally in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran. The Iranian Red Sheep are found mostly on private ranches in Texas now.
