Hunting Exotics in Texas
Guys, I need some advice and I couldn't think of anywhere else to post my question.

I was wondering is anyone could give me some advice as to a good place in Texas to hunt exotic game like Nilgai and stuff. I saw some stuff on TV last night about the 777 Ranch. They offer Russian boar, bison, Nilgai and many other exotics. Are there any other good places that you can suggest?

Lots of places to do the same thing.
Looks to be high on both daily rates and trophy fees.

I'll be happy to have a phone call with you, explaining some of the "unwrittens" about this...

there's LOTS of places to hunt in texas, lots to hunt exotics and hogs.. and lots of places that have a good or bad reputation.

if you want to hunt nilgai, you need to get on them NOW, like before the end of the month, or wait until next feb...

There are dozens of websites for Texas Exotics. Tommy Ryno is one, 777, Llano County is prime, so is the Kerrvile-Junction-Ozona area, and for Nilgai, the King Ranch is probably still numeron uno. I hunt a small ranch near Junction for culls, usually taking 2-3 doe Axis, Fallow, or Whitetail. Owner has Red Deer, Blackbuck (almost a Texas icon now) and Scimitar Oryx too
