Need Recommendations for Exotic Hunt!

[Fargus]

I am turning 50 in 2025 and want to do a stateside exotic hunt with friends and family. Africa isn't an option unfortunately. I want just one of these species: nilgai bull, trophy fallow or maybe an eland. There might be one or two others after bucks bulls or rams, but imagine most with be after a doe of some sort. The hunt has to be open to rifle and bow hunting. The place doesn't need to be fancy or even offer lodging/meals if the price is right. I can't imagine there being any more than 6 of us going that will be hunting


Does anyone know of a place even remotely close to this or is it a pipe dream?

There are several places that you can do this type stuff for your list. Fallow best time will be mid Aug-Dec.
Avg prices right now on your list probably $3k nilgai, $4-5k fallow and $4k+ eland.

Ox Ranch, as mentioned, can do it but they are pricey. 777 Ranch can also but again not cheap. JJ Matt as mentioned as a sponsor here. Also Cantexduck has a place. Facebook hero Longer Outdoors.

We had a great hunt with RJ Cruz at Cross River Exotics out of Karnes City. They have a great lodge and their chef is amazing. He has some crazy Fallow and did have Eland and Nilgai when I was there.

Lazy K Ranch in Oakhurst, TX hands down

Diamond C if everyone is bow hunting. If you are not archery exclusive take a look at texas_exoctics.com. the ranch is in Benevides near Alice. They have always had some decent animals at below average costs, the lodge is basic but nice, and you do all your own cooking, they even have to discount hunts for a few hundred. John has always taken care of us.

I also forgot about the Lucky Seven Ranch near Eden, Texas. I've been there and they have the stuff you want also.
