The only hunting I've done in TX was on a ranch a buddy's father owned. I hunted blackbuck, aoudad and texas dahl sheep, pics are on my album. This was when no regular seasons were open and all it cost me was the generic license which if I remember was about $50 back then. No guides, we hunted on our own since they owned the spread. Exotics are not considered a game animal and can be hunted year round.

So, for me it was to experience something a little different and to spend time with a pretty good buddy. But, I would never pony up the $$$ they want to hunt trophy whitetails or mulies in TX. You get into some real serious cash when you do that. The hunt I went on was fun, but it isn't something I'd want to do a lot of. But, to each his own. Some guys get really into that sort of thing.
