Cool critters....but you killed all that stuff in Africa. I was talking about here in Texas. My Gemsbok was killed on the ranch next to my deer lease in the hill country! And most of those can be hunted in Texas. (You know that)

so do you eat the meat or just love hunting them? just curious Yes I have eaten some of the younger ones...made some into jerky, dried sausage, smoked the tenders/backstraps and given the rest away. None were wasted on any of them.

I was interested in hearing what people have killed HERE IN TEXAS (as I stated in my original post)....not in Africa.

i've lost count of the amount of axis, its not that many, prolly around 10 or 12. only 1 trophy.
i've killed mouflon, sika, blackbuck. I think i've taken something else, but it isn't comming to mind.
been aoudad hunting several times, but never had the chance at one.
gonna put aoudad and nilgai on the short list.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Aoudad, sika, Red deer, axis and hoping( like everyone else) for an Oryx soon. Rookie I know.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who believe they can and those who believe they can't. They are both correct.

I've killed all the basic TX stuff....Axis (187" ROE #1 ranked several years ago), Fallow, Blackbuck (#1 in ROE again several years ago). then took a Merio Ram(#3 ranked ROE about 10 years ago & recently a 43" Oryx. All of these with the exception of ram have been taken off of Porter's Exotic's in Flynn. www.portersexotics.com

My list of exotics I have taken looks like the manifest for Noah's Ark. It is easier and shorter to list what I have not shot of the 64 SCI listed Introduced Trophies: Gaur Beisa Oryx Arabian Oryx Nile Lechwe White Bearded Wildebeest Dorcas Gazelle Goitered Gazelle West Caucasian Tur Brow-Antlered Deer That's 55 off of the SCI list, but there are species that are commonly shot in Texas that are not included on the list, some of which I've shot and others I have not. These include watusi, longhorn, banteng, capybara, zebra, kangaroo, etc. Wherever possible I have shot these free range, such as Gemsbok in NM, Feral Goat in Puerto Rico, etc. The others I have shot on the largest properties I could access that offered the species in spite of the high fence. I have made it a point not to shoot any animals I have specifically handled (darted, transported, netted, etc.) or on my own ranch. Most of this was research and collecting. I have a small exotic wildlife "museum". Also, it is a responsible thing to do when you have clients hunting with you for these species. How can you really assess the difficulty of the hunt, recommendation of weapons, quality of meat, etc if you have not yourself hunted and used the animals? After I completed the list to the extent I can or want to, I wrote the book on it - literally.

Somebody a while back was asking about gaur. The only person that responded was somebody who knew of a ranch in Kansas that ran hunts for them. I am sure there are a few throughout the state though.

Texas Hunt Lodge is the only one that advertises hunts for them that I know of. Whether or not they actually have any on premise I do not know.

The local zoo has a few, and I have seen them in a zoo in Bangkok Thailand.
I have heard several quotes, that list them as the largest wild bovine. I have also heard Wisent, and Woods Bison so listed. I have seen all the worlds wild cattle in person and I personally feel that the Woods Bison is the tallest, and the water buffalo is the biggest. But there are lots of types of water buffalo, and I don't know if the feral water buffalo in Northern Australia should be included or not. As they were originally livestock.
Then again I have seen a lot of data claiming that Lord Derby Eland are heavier than Livingstone Eland. I have seen 4 different herds of LDE in zoos, and every single one of them was smaller than a the Livingstone Eland that I have seen in size. Though I do beleive them to be taller.
