Most bizarre exotic I have ever seen was a steel blue bull Nilgai swimming across Baffin bay and onto a small island. I guess he was off the King.It's good thing it was a long ride back to the truck.

Not all that rare, but dang sure unique. This is a Pere David deer that a friend of mine killed on our ranch in Clarendon.

There were some muntjac that escaped from the Clovis Zoo a few years back. Heard they have been seen as far east a Muleshoe, but not sure what the guidelines for hunting them would be.

That is interesting!! I've never heard anything about this... If they are free-ranging in Texas, then there are no regulations/seasons on hunting them.

Not that rare I dont know, came across a really nice Springbok by itself on some low fence in Utopia. Didnt know what it was at the time so let it be and now that Ive been to Africa and being able to eat them I kick myself thinking about that great table fare that I just let walk away.

I was in Concan floating the river one summer and ended up meeting the people up at the front shop. Was drinkin a few and talkin to a guy bout hunting. Ended up he was a guide down there and ended up takin me to a huge neighboorhood thats fenced off with all kinds of exotics. Was crusin through till he found what he wanted to show me. It was a HUGE axis and what made it so crazy was that it had 3 giant drop tines of the left side that mirror imaged his top tines.....iv never seen one like it so thought it was cool

The color picture is giant forest hog from West Africa, the black and white is called a birbosa or something like that. There's one at the San Antonio zoo.

Okapi (below) are beyond strange, the diminutive Muntjac deer have always fascinated me & ditto on Bongos being the most beautifully strange animals in the hunting world!

Ugliest thing was a Pierre davids, I can tell you that It's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen.....including that is jacob's four horn sheep. The rarest I've seen would have to be Pere David and/or eland and/or Nubian ibex and/or wildebeest. I haven't been to any huge ranches like the 777 or YO or anything.....the biggest would be Rattlesnake Springs and Purple Sagw when I was real little

Oh, forgot to mention. I know someone who had a Forest Buffalo and a Saiga. Ranch here in Ohio. Guy could get nearly anything huntable African or Asian hoofstock in at incredible prices.
$1200 for a Thomson's Gazelle. Lodging, skinning etc. all included. And it was a challenging hunt. Shame the last Thommy he had was like 8 years ago.
He also had a Cape Buffalo for $1500 about 5 years ago. WoW!!!!! That's unbeatable in Texas Yeah. He had a Nubian Ibex for $3000. Just recently
Then $750 for Chinese Water Deer which he had 5 years ago.
And $4500 for a 29 inch Nile Lechwe.
Shame I spent $8500 for mine and it was only 26 inches, and the fact I shot mine like a day after he announced he would be getting it in. *facepalm* XD
He had a 32 inch Red Sheep for $1250.
And I shot a gold medal Armenian Mouflon off of him for $750.
That's what he's had in the last 5 or so years, that I remember. Sure he had more.
But the he HAS the ABSOLUTE BEST PRICES FOR WHITETAIL. That's awesomely crazy! I need contact info...

does seeing a camel get hit by a HUMMWV count as exotic hunting?? if so Kuwait before the 04-05 big excursion into Baghdad we were rolling along in the dusk ans a whole herd of the bastages were crossing the road and I was lucky enough to be one of the guys to hit one....we actually hit 6 total!!

Axis master,
Do you have any contact info for that ranch in Ohio? X2
