Exotic hunting in Texas has really become a high value activity for avid hunters and those that just like an occasional outing. The state is home to some of the best year round climatic conditions for the exotic species and they tend to thrive and reach maximum growth potential in the milder southern climate. Most of the exotic hunting ranches are located in the central to southern and western areas of the state, with many game ranches specializing in more than one exotic species. Some managed hunts, like those offered on Escondido Ranch, provide hunters with a wide array of game choices in both exotic species as well as native species.

There are many different benefits to adding exotic hunting in Texas to your typical hunting routine, not the least of which is the year round season on these non-native species. By having the option to hunt year round not only does your freezer stay well stocked but you also keep yourself tuned up for the annual whitetail deer, and turkey seasons. So, when it comes to planning exotic hunting in Texas you really do have unlimited options for some of the most beautiful and challenging animals to hunt.

A good managed game ranch will always provide information on the type of game animals they have within the ranch. In other words they won't sell you a hunting package based on game animals they know are in short supply or simply not what you are interested in hunting. Asking in advance about the condition of the animals, the gazing area of the ranch and even the size of animals recently hunted off the ranch will certainly provide you information you need. While a game ranch can't guarantee that you will bring home that trophy buck they should be able to ensure animals of that caliber are on the ranch.

Doing a bit of research on the species you want to go after while exotic hunting in Texas is also a way to make the most of your hunting experience. If you want a trophy buck or you want a beautiful head mount hunting in the later summer and early fall gives you the best chance to shoot an animal with a rich, full coat, healthy weight and overall great condition. However, you will also want to keep in mind that some exotics will shed their antlers similar to that of the whitetail, while others, such as the Axis Deer, may have horns all year round depending on the reproductive cycle of the various bucks in the herd.  Knowing about the reproductive cycle of the exotic you want to hunt can also help you select the best time of year for hunting geared to that specific species.

One of the great things about exotic hunting in Texas is that the weather is typically moderate all seasons of the year, except in the extreme heat of summer. Even the rainy periods and the small amount of snow in the winter is a minimal distraction for hunting, allowing you to plan your week or weekend hunt well in advance. Ask at the ranch for information about the typical weather during the time you are planning to book your hunt but be prepared, there are huge variations win environmental conditions in Texas, so typically even bad weather is short lived.
