Bag a Trophy Waterbuck in West Texas

Looking to add a striking Waterbuck to your trophy room? Angry Goat Outfitters has you covered with our top-rated exotic hunt in the rugged terrain of West Texas. We're talking wide-open spaces, expert guides, and a chance to take down one of Africa's most impressive antelope species right here in the Lone Star State. This ain't your average deer hunt, folks - it's a real deal safari experience without the passport.

Inside the Hunt

Picture this: You're creeping through mesquite brush at dawn, your guide whispering intel on a big bull Waterbuck just over the next rise. The private ranch is dead quiet except for the crunch of your boots and the distant call of a coyote. That's the kind of focused, quality hunt we deliver. No crowds, no fuss - just you, your rifle, and a seasoned pro making sure you're in the right spot at the right time. We've got access to prime Waterbuck habitat across thousands of acres, so you can bet your bottom dollar we'll put you on some game.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

West Texas ain't for the faint of heart, but that's what makes the hunt so dang rewarding. We're talking rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and thick brush - perfect cover for those wily Waterbuck. These big boys love to hang near water sources, so we'll be glassing creek beds and stock tanks. Our guides know every nook and cranny of this land, and they'll teach you to spot those telltale white rings and shaggy coats. We typically spot-and-stalk, but might set up some blinds if the situation calls for it. Bring your best boots and be ready to put in some miles - trust me, it's worth it when you're standing over your trophy bull.

Target Game Breakdown

Let's talk Waterbuck, shall we? These ain't your garden variety whitetail. We're dealing with a beast that can tip the scales at over 600 pounds, sporting an impressive set of ringed horns that'll make your buddies back home green with envy. Waterbuck are known for their thick, oily hides that give 'em that distinctive musky smell (hence the name). They're built like tanks, with stocky bodies and powerful legs that help 'em navigate rough terrain.

The bulls are the real showstoppers - that's what we're after on this hunt. You'll be looking for those signature curved horns, which can stretch up to 39 inches long. These boys are most active in the early morning and late afternoon, so that's when we'll be hitting the field hard.

What makes Waterbuck such a killer trophy? It's all about that face, my friends. They've got these white markings that almost look like a target, with those big ol' ears and alert eyes. Mount one of these on your wall, and I guarantee it'll be the first thing folks comment on when they walk into your trophy room.
