If you could hunt any exotic you wanted, what would you go after?  |

Sense I have taken most of them over the past 10 years ,I would have to say the Kudu or maybe the Marco polo Sheep would be my choice. I hunt Blackbuck and Axis all the time. So I would like to bigger challenge .

My only issue with the number of exotics is I don't know what the heck I am looking at in the distance. While repairing fence a number of times something weird will come within my vision and I gotta try and collate it with animals I recognize......very tough sometimes!

Tombo21, What a great problem to have! ;D I am sure you could get a lot of volunteers to help with target indentifcation and acquisition! I know there are a lot of free ranging exotics around Leakey where you hang out!! Good Hunting, Bob |

Sorry can't do any invites for the near future. My daddy is a little funny these days about people on his property. He's let a couple groups come on our property and been burned. Cut some fence, shot some of his goats. Daddy is 78 so he doesn't get around real good but he throws a pretty good temper tantrum. I'm just afraid he'd try to light somebody up with his old '03.

 I'll tell ya' tho'. One I still have not identified, I saw about two years ago. Hwy 337 had flooded at the Frio River crossinig on the way to Vanderpool. So coming up from Uvalde had to turn off at Rio Frio and thread your way back through some of those back roads. Came around a corner a saw a BIG tawny colored deer/antelope/elk? with white stripes on it's chest. It was BIG! To this day I don't know what it was...... Never seen one since.

Tombo21, It could have been a couple of things. We can start with the Nyala. Did it look like this:  |

TexasDoc just e-mailed me and asked me to post a photo of a Lesser Kudu which is another viable candidate in the mystery animal hunt........  |

Nope, The stripes were across the chest in front not over the spine or on the back, or on the ribcage. Plus it had some good size to it.
