Africa's Most Striking Antelope, Right Here in Texas
Native to the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa, the gemsbok is large, aggressive, and built for survival in extreme conditions. Their dramatic black-and-white facial markings and long, straight horns make them one of the most visually striking mounts in any trophy room. Known for a "never quit" attitude that makes them genuinely tough to stop.

Before You Book
Texas License Required
A Texas hunting license is required for everyone, including out-of-state hunters and even when hunting with a guide. Native species like whitetail also require tags. Exotic species do NOT require tags. Hunters must get their own license before arrival.
Our Hunt Guarantee
We cannot guarantee a kill — it is real hunting. What we DO guarantee: a shot opportunity on your target animal, or an equal-or-better quality trophy. Our guides work hard to put you on game.
We never guarantee a specific animal months in advance — herds roam freely and inventory changes. We can share recent harvest photos so you can see trophy quality.
Rescheduling & Fees
Since it is real hunting we cannot promise a harvest, so the hunt fee itself is not refunded. BUT if it does not work out we reschedule you and you only pay for meals and lodging, and the hunt fee carries over to your rescheduled hunt. We make it right.
