A Season of Opportunity in the Texas Hill Country
The Texas Hill Country comes alive this time of year, offering hunters the perfect blend of cool mornings, rutting activity, and diverse trophy opportunities. Unlike many states bound by narrow hunting windows, Texas boasts year-round hunting seasons for exotic species, making now the ideal time to book your adventure. At Texas Hunt Lodge, we’ve carefully managed our ranches and partnerships to provide thriving populations of some of the most sought-after game animals in North America—and beyond.
This season, our hunters have the chance to pursue a remarkable lineup of species: world-class red stag, trophy elk, palmated fallow deer, elegant blackbuck, scimitar-horned oryx, and even our exclusive Texas Ram Slam package. No matter your preference, the timing couldn’t be better to secure the hunt of a lifetime.
The Stars of the Season: Trophy Species Worth the Pursuit
Red Stag and Elk: Peak Rut Action
Fall and winter bring out the full majesty of red stag and elk. During the rut, these giants are more vocal, more visible, and more active—creating unforgettable encounters for hunters. The bugling of an elk across the canyon or the roar of a red stag in the Hill Country sets the stage for hunts that rival those in New Zealand or the Rockies, without leaving Texas.
Fallow Deer and Blackbuck: Exotic Elegance
For hunters seeking something both unique and visually striking, fallow deer and blackbuck are prime targets. Fallow bucks show off massive palmated antlers, often reaching trophy-class scores, while blackbuck antelope display their signature spiraled horns and high-speed agility. Both species thrive in the cooler months, making this season perfect for spot-and-stalk hunting across open terrain.
Scimitar-Horned Oryx and the Ram Slam
This season is also prime time for one of the most iconic exotics: the scimitar-horned oryx. Once extinct in the wild, these sweeping-horned antelope now thrive on Texas Hunt Lodge ranches, offering both an incredible trophy and a conservation success story. For those seeking variety, the Texas Ram Slam package allows hunters to pursue Corsican, Black Hawaiian, Mouflon, and Texas Dall sheep in one unforgettable trip—a perfect way to end the year with multiple trophies on the wall.
