Hey guys, I mentioned an upcoming blackbuck group hunt we would be putting on soon & I finally have the "skinny" on the date & details!! The hunt will take place the weekend of June 28-30th, 2013 on a private ranch just outside of San Angelo, Tx. The ranch is 2,000+ acres and loaded w/ blackbuck. This will be the FIRST blackbuck hunt offered to the public! Openings: 5 total spots for this hunt (4 spots left, as of this moment) Hunt Cost - $1,750/hunter [Hunt includes: (1) trophy ram and (2) does + varmint hunting] You will also be able to shoot ADDITIONAL does for a nominal fee. ***Mention you're a THF member and we'll knock $100 off your hunt!!***Deposit - $500 (to hold your spot; balance due ONLY after harvesting your ram!) Details: the hunt will start Friday afternoon and end on Sunday afternoon. Every hunter SHOULD have a shot at a really good ram and we expect 100% success. (On my recent trip to the ranch, we spotted 30-40 bb and 6-8 shooters...in less than 2 hours!) Hunts will consist of blind hunting in the am/pm with spot & stalk and safari style mid-day (if necessary). Hunts will be guided 2x1 or 1x1. Game care & cleaning will be taken care of for you by our guides. Gourmet meals & lodging are included (you are also welcome to stay "in town" which is about a 15 min drive from the ranch). We'll also have activities lined up in the evenings (washer tourney, poker tourney, guitar picking around the campfire, etc...in other words, we plan on having ALOT of fun while we're out there!) There will also be prizes/awards for 'big buck', 'best shot', etc. We have also worked out a discounted rate w/ J's Taxidermy in San Angelo on shoulder mounts. Should you choose to leave your trophy with us, J's will mount your ram for $475. This option is at your discretion.If you have any questions or would like to book a spot, please call, text or PM me asap. My cell is (979) 492-6186. This hunt should fill up quick, so don't wait to give me a shout if you're considering joining us! Hope to see some of you guys out there!! Setting up to be a GREAT hunt!

What's a reasonable expectation as to how big the blackbucks will be?

STAGMAN - they do have some axis that they mentioned being an option, in addition to blackbuck. That's all they have. All low fence.
WBT - I would safely say that around 20" straight tape, but I suspect that there will be several larger than that and there are some brutes running around out there, but I'd rather tell you the "low end" and be wrong than the opposite...

Did I mention the Duck Dynasty clan (Willie, Korie, John Luke & Sadie) will also be in San Angelo that weekend?! Maybe you can parlay a trophy blackbuck and a elbow rub w/ the Robertsons!  Info >>> Eveing With The Robertsons

UPDATE: Only 2 spots left. Don't miss the chance to hunt trophy blackbuck on a ranch that is virtually untouched!
Remember, THF members save $100 on the hunt! Give me a shout if you have questions or want 1 of the last 2 spots.

The hunt is $1,750 (minus $100 for THF members, so $1,650). Assuming that you're asking if you can just shoot a ram & no does...??
Answer: Yes, but the cost is the same.
Reason: The main focus is getting everyone a trophy blackbuck, BUT one of the other priorities during the hunt will be to help the ranch reduce their numbers, so shooting does is important to them. We plan on shooting atleast 10 does while we're there. You don't HAVE TO take does, but the price of the hunt remains the same. Just think of the 2 does "freebies"!
$1,650 is still an absolute STEAL for a (close to guaranteed) trophy blackbuck hunt, especially on a ranch that hasn't been hunted. If anyone can find one cheaper right now (w/ food & lodging) I really would like to hear about it (seriously, I've been looking...)

Lauren, we hope to make it an annual event, but don't know for sure. Congrats on your 2 "other" exotics this year! You should share the trophy pics on our FB page!
Also everyone, wanted to mention...the hunt INCLUDES 2 bb does, but the ranch is really wanting to reduce their numbers, so you will likely be able to take ADDITIONAL does for as little as $50 each! That means you could literally shoot 6-8 bb does for what you can buy ONE for at any of the recent live auctions!!
Still looking for 1 more spot-taker...
If you can't come, tell your friends about it. If they sign up and mention this THF post, we'll send YOU (the refer-ee) a $20 Bass Pro (or Cabela's) Gift Card just for helping spread the word!! Thx everyone

It's very tempting. I would be all over this if I didn't have an axis hunt planned in two weeks.
