The Scimitar-horned Oryx is a striking animal with a white coat, chestnut markings, and long, curved horns that can exceed 40 inches. Both males and females have horns, with females often sporting longer ones. Once widespread across North Africa, these hardy animals can endure extreme heat and go weeks without water. Though extinct in the wild, they thrive on Texas ranches, where they can be legally hunted year-round at Buck Valley Ranch.

 

Beyond being an incredible trophy, Scimitar-horned Oryx provide a large amount of excellent meat, with males weighing up to 400 pounds. Despite their endangered status, regulated hunting has played a crucial role in their conservation, with Texas ranchers ensuring their survival through sustainable management.

At Buck Valley Ranch, we offer top-tier guides, comfortable accommodations, and true Texas hospitality—delivering the hunting experience of a lifetime.
