Exotic Hunting
Texas has long been known for its hunting opportunities of exotic game
species. The terrain and climate here in the Lone Star State provides a suitable
habitat for various species of ungulates from Asia, Europe, Africa, and India.
In many cases, the populations of these introduced exotics in Texas out number
their native origin.
What Species are Available on Our Exotic Hunting Trips?
WSI conducts exotic hunting in Texas on several properties, and we do have
access to a good variety of exotic game, especially some of the more popular
species. Some of these Texas exotics include blackbuck antelope, axis deer,
fallow deer, sika deer, red stag, mouflon sheep, red sheep, Corsican sheep,
aoudad sheep, and scimitar-horned oryx.
We occasionally have a limited supply of other harder to find species such as
Nubian ibex, eland, kudu, lechwe, sable, and a few others. If you have something
in mind, let us know and we will try to accommodate your next Texas exotic
hunting safari.
Axis deer, native to India, and one of the more striking of the
exotics. Eric Miller is shown here with a great buck. Texas exotic
hunting provide year around hunting opportunities for a great variety of

How Are Your Prices on Texas Exotic Hunts?
With the exception of our free-range aoudad and nilgai hunting (see other
link pages on our website), most of our exotic hunting trips are set up on a
basis where hunters pay a daily fee and a trophy fee for whatever you harvest or
wound. Daily Fees are typically $195 - $350 per day, which includes meals,
lodging, guide and game care. We have some motel hunts where you pay $165 per
day for a guide, but you take care of your motel room and meals. Exotic Trophy
Fees are variable, depending upon which species you take, and sometimes
depending upon which property we are hunting. Check with us for details and
prices for various species on our Texas exotic hunts.
Seasons and Licenses for
Texas Exotic Hunting
Texas exotic hunting can be done year around, but some
species have better hunting at some times of the year than others. As a rule,
the best time to plan hunts for antlered deer species is from September through
January, but axis deer best hunting is from late May through September. All
horned exotic hunting which include sheep and antelope species can be hunted
