Pronghorn Antelope
Fastest land mammal in North America, pronghorn antelope are sporty and unique game animals. Gary Greer shows off heavy horned buck taken in 2007.
Antelope Hunting in Texas
North America’s fastest land animal needs no introduction. These speed goats
are well known in the hunting circles and are a symbol of the American West. We
have been conducting pronghorn antelope hunting trips since 1991 with a virtual
100% success rate, less a couple of individuals who went home without an
antelope on their own accord. We consider pronghorn antelope hunting to be the
dove hunting of big game, as this is a relaxed, low physical hunting, where
hunters consistently see plenty of Pronghorn Antelope with little effort.
More About Texas Pronghorn Antelope Hunting Pronghorn
Antelope are unique game animals found exclusively in North America.
Abundant throughout various areas of the West and Southwest, these animals are
typical antelope in that they prefer to inhabit relatively open terrain where
they can take advantage of their exceptional eyesight. One thing
that does separate pronghorn antelope from all other antelope species and all
other horned ungulates is their horn structure. They are the only species to
annually shed their horn sheath, and they are also the only animal to have a
forked horn design. Pronghorn Antelope are well known for their high speed
mobility and commonly referred to as the fastest land mammal in North America,
thus making pronghorn antelope hunting an exciting and challenging experience. A
mature Antelope Buck may sport horns up to 17 inches in length but anything over
14 inches is considered desirable and most of our hunters take 14-16 inch
antelope. Mature Pronghorn bucks will normally weigh between 110-140 live
weight.
Location Of Our Pronghorn Antelope Hunting
We conduct our Pronghorn antelope hunts in both Texas and New Mexico. Our
Texas antelope hunting takes place near Marathon and Marfa, Texas on a huge
200,000-acre property. Hunters stay in a very nice, well appointed facility
location 15 miles west of Marathon. This is beautiful Pronghorn Antelope hunting
country with classic desert mountains surrounding the flatter terrain inhabited
by pronghorn. Our pronghorn antelope hunting can be combined with free-range
aoudad sheep hunting and javelina hunting.
What Is Included?
On our pronghorn antelope hunting trips we provide meals, lodging, guide
(2x1) and game care. Lodging is first class facilities located on the property.
You will be treated to three full meals daily. Airport shuttle is not included,
but should you fly, Midland is the closest airport, approximately 2.5 hours from
the ranch.
What Can I Expect On My Pronghorn Antelope Hunt?
Hunters can expect to see an abundance of Pronghorn Antelope. Though average
sizes can vary from year to year, most hunters should expect to have
opportunities at pronghorn bucks with 14 – 15.5 inch horns and occasionally 16
inch plus horn length. This is always a high percentage hunting opportunity,
rarely below 100% success rate, so your chances are virtually assured at being
able to collect a nice trophy for your game room on our pronghorn antelope hunt.
