Pronghorn Antelope

Pronghorn hunts take place where the landscape is as flat and open as it gets, which is located in the far Northwestern corner of the Texas Panhandle near Dalhart and also in the far Northeastern corner of New Mexico near Clayton. We are very fortunate to have over 70,000 acres to hunt on in Texas and over 30,000 acres in New Mexico. This amount of land is necessary to obtain a good number of permits and to have a good selection of big mature pronghorn. We don't know of any other outfitter that offers a better quality Pronghorn hunt. These hunts are a lot of fun and they have always been 100% successful. We have gotten pretty good at field judging these antelope over the last few years. We consistently kill goats in the high 70's B&C, and we always kill a few each year that go over the magic 80 inch mark. These "speed goats" have incredible eyesight and a pretty good nose. Good optics are a must on this hunt. Antelope can see you coming from a long way away and they can leave you in the dust.

For 2008 we have decided to use at least three of our larger pastures for bow hunters only. These areas have water holes that the antelope like to frequent and we are going to take the rifle hunting pressure away in order to give our archery clients a better opportunity to kill a big pronghorn. We'll set up ground blinds weeks ahead of the hunt so that the antelope will be used to seeing them at their favorite watering spots. There will also be opportunities to spot and stalk using a decoy for those bow hunters that really want a challenge.

The Texas season runs from the last Saturday in September thru the first Sunday in October. The hunt that we sell is a two day hunt and we can take up to six hunters every two days. We can pick up and drop off clients at the airport in Amarillo, TX. This short hunt is appealing to many of our clients because it doesn't require as much time off of work. We use hotels and restaurants, in Dalhart TX., to provide the meals and lodging for our hunters because we don't have a lodge in this area.

The New Mexico hunt works exactly like the Texas hunt except we stay and eat in Clayton, NM. and the hunts are three days instead of two. Historically, the New Mexico hunt produces higher scoring antelope on average than Texas but not always. The New Mexico season dates are broken up into two three-day seasons. The first is the last week of August and the second is in the middle of September. The closest airport is still in Amarillo, Texas and we will provide transportation to and from there.

The price of the Texas hunt is $2400.00 and the price of the New Mexico hunt is $3000.00. If any client is interested in providing their own meals and lodging, we will discount the price of the hunt by $250.00.
> These prices include everything mentioned above except the shipping of meat and trophies or taxidermy work.
