At Rawhide Ridge, the excitement of exotic hunts is alive and well, with some incredible trophy animals harvested this season. One of the standout moments came on November 23, when Jamie and his son, J.D., harvested their first Scimitar Oryx at the ranch. This 40″+ Scimitar Oryx dropped like a trophy bull, marking a memorable father-son experience they’ll cherish forever. Congratulations to Jamie on this amazing hunt!
The excitement didn’t stop there. On December 2, Jimmy Green added another trophy Scimitar to the list with a beautiful shot that will go down in Rawhide Ridge history. His success is a testament to the outstanding hunting opportunities we offer here.
Marcos Balderas also made his mark at Rawhide Ridge by harvesting his first Scimitar Oryx after several stalks and lots of patience. Marcos was thrilled with the outcome, and his gratitude speaks to the unforgettable experience provided by our team. “Thanks Mike and Jimmy for making this happen. It was a great week at the ranch. It wasn’t easy but we did it! I hope to return soon for another one,” Marcos said after his successful hunt.
The Scimitar Horned Oryx, also known as the Sahara Oryx, is an incredible species. These animals once roamed across North Africa, but climate change and overhunting led to their decline. Today, Scimitars are bred in captivity on reserves in Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, and in private ranches like ours in the Texas Hill Country. They were even reintroduced to Chad in 2016, where a small herd was formed. Known for their dramatic curved horns and striking coat with white and reddish-brown hues, Scimitars are truly one of the most unique animals you can hunt.
