This 3-day Scimitar Oryx hunt takes place on a private high-fenced ranch in West Texas near Comstock. The exclusive hunting area covers more than 2,200 acres of rolling ranch country, open grassland, brush-covered terrain, wooded draws, and natural cover that provides excellent habitat for Oryx and other game. The hunt is conducted 1×1 with an experienced guide and is based primarily from strategically positioned hunting blinds overlooking feeders and areas of regular animal movement. The guide will remain with you throughout your hunt to observe the Oryx, evaluate mature animals, and help determine the appropriate trophy for you. The package includes three full hunting days, arrival day lodging, meals, 3-star accommodations, transportation during the hunt, necessary hunt permits, field preparation, and the included Scimitar Oryx trophy fee.

 

About the Scimitar Oryx

Scimitar Oryx are large, striking antelope recognized by their predominantly white coloration, reddish-brown markings around the neck and chest, and exceptionally long horns that sweep backward in the curved shape that gives the species its name. Their heavy-bodied build and long, symmetrical horns make mature Scimitar Oryx one of the most distinctive exotic trophies available to hunters in Texas.

These desert-adapted antelope are well suited to the dry, open country found across much of West Texas. On the ranch, they move through a mixture of open grassland, brush, wooded draws, feeders, water sources, and established travel corridors. Their coloration can make them easy to notice in open country, but brush and broken terrain can quickly conceal animals as they move across the property. The outfitter places emphasis on mature, healthy animals and works to give each hunter a realistic opportunity at an Oryx that meets the trophy quality you request. Your guide evaluates animals as they appear and will assist you in waiting for the correct trophy and a suitable shot opportunity.

 

 

The Scimitar Oryx Hunting Area in West Texas

The hunting ranch is located near Comstock, Texas, and encompasses more than 2,200 acres of high-fenced, professionally managed West Texas country. The area is exclusive for the hunt, and the outfitter has hunted this property for approximately 22 years. The terrain includes rolling ground, open grassland, brush-covered areas, wooded draws, and natural cover. Native brush and vegetation surround feeders, water sources, and regular travel corridors, allowing Oryx to move throughout the property while providing numerous locations for strategically placed hunting blinds.

The combination of open country and thicker cover creates varied viewing conditions throughout the day. Managed habitat, supplemental feeding, and established water sources help support the ranch’s Oryx population along with a variety of other game species.

 

 

Scimitar Oryx Hunting Methods

A typical hunting day begins with a continental breakfast at the lodge before heading into the field with your guide. The guide prepares the ranch vehicle and equipment and then takes you to an assigned hunting blind before the animals become active. You and your guide will remain in the blind together while watching the feeder and surrounding terrain for Oryx movement. As animals appear, the guide will evaluate them and determine which Oryx is appropriate for harvest, along with the animal’s size, age, and overall quality. Once the correct animal is identified, the guide will help prepare you for the shot and make sure you're in the best position.

Depending on weather and animal movement, the morning hunt may continue until it is time to return to the lodge. Hunters can relax at the ranch before lunch, which is generally served around 2:00 p.m., and then return to the blind with their guide for the afternoon hunt. After a successful harvest, the guide and ranch staff assist with recovery and field care before returning to the lodge for the evening.

 

About the Outfitter

This outfitter has hunted this West Texas property for approximately 22 years and places a strong emphasis on personal service, experienced guiding, comfortable accommodations, and providing each guest with a complete hunting experience from arrival through departure. Their operation is hands-on and works to understand what each hunter is looking for before adapting the hunt to your individual goals. The emphasis is not only on providing an opportunity at a mature trophy, but also on hospitality, good meals, comfortable accommodations, knowledgeable guides, and an enjoyable stay at the ranch.

 

The 3-Star West Texas Hunting Lodge

Hunters stay in the ranch’s comfortable 3-star main lodge with permanent electrical power, cell phone service, and internet access. The lodge offers a combination of bunk-style accommodations and master suites, making it suitable for individual hunters, hunting partners, and groups.

One side of the lodge contains two bunk rooms, each furnished with four bunk beds. These rooms share a bathroom. On the opposite side are two master suites, each furnished with a king-size bed. The master suites share a separate bathroom located between the rooms.

 

 

Quality meals are included throughout the hunt. Between hunting sessions, guests can relax at the lodge or take advantage of ranch activities including horseshoes, cornhole, axe and knife throwing, swimming, basketball, and other activities before returning to the field.

 

Additional Hunting Opportunities

Additional species are available on the ranch. The outfitter reports especially strong numbers of Whitetail, Axis, Blackbuck, and Aoudad, providing hunters with excellent opportunities to add additional game depending on current availability and the applicable trophy fee schedule.

Additional species may be hunted according to current availability and the outfitter’s current price list.

 

 

Trophy Handling and Care

After the Scimitar Oryx is harvested, the guide will cape and quarter the animal and pack it on ice. The ranch will help keep the hunter’s ice chest supplied with ice during the stay. If the hunter chooses to keep the cape, the guide will place the cape and head in a freezer until departure.

When the hunter is ready to leave, the guide will load the trophy and prepared animal into the hunter’s vehicle. Transportation of the trophy to a taxidermist, processor, or shipping provider is not included.

 

Taxidermy

Taxidermy, dip & pack, trophy processing, and shipping are not included. The outfitter can recommend a taxidermist for hunters who would like assistance arranging these services, but the ranch is not affiliated with the recommended provider.

 

Getting to West Texas

The nearest major airport is San Antonio. Hunters will typically arrive at the ranch by personal vehicle or rental car. Airport pick-up, drop-off, and road transfer can be arranged for $300. No charter flights are required.

Arrival day lodging is included. Lodging after the final hunting day is not included and may be added for $250. Separate before- or after-hunt accommodations are not otherwise required as part of the package.

Cancellation Policy
