TX HUNT LODGE: 3-Day, 2-Night, Record-Class Blackbuck Hunt for One Hunter and One Observer
Texas trophy blackbuck antelope hunts offer one of the most visually striking and exciting exotic game experiences in North America.
Originally from the grasslands of India, the blackbuck has adapted perfectly to the Texas landscape, especially on private ranches like those at TX Hunt Lodge. Their unique spiral horns, jet-black and white coat (in males), and fast, agile movement make them a prized addition to any trophy room. The Platinum Class represents a truly one-of-a-kind specimen and showcases some of the largest animals of its species ever harvested at Texas Hunt Lodge. These elite trophies are extremely rare and carefully managed to provide an unmatched hunting opportunity. This class is specifically designed for serious hunters pursuing record-book animals, with strong potential for qualification in both TGR (Trophy Game Records) and SCI (Safari Club International).

The Blackbuck’s alertness and speed running up to 50 mph make them a challenging pursuit, particularly for spot-and-stalk or safari-style hunts. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or new to exotic game, the guided blackbuck antelope hunts at TX Hunt Lodge offer a world-class experience, combining luxury lodging, expert guidance, and the pursuit of one of the most elegant antelope species on the planet.
One trophy blackbuck 18"-20" included.
