They're fun to watch. The bucks are pretty territorial. They're good on the table too. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/7Pjrs70p/A99-A1517-1-A56-4-C08-B17-B-0497547-AF57-D.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/MTrdG7zx/AB8-ED6-E3-B3-D2-4-A0-C-9-C51-B0-A43-F2874-A7.jpg)

no pics, its been many years... my only one was a bit over 23 and I've seen a couple close to 25.
Funny how folks feel about taste, they don't taste worth shooting to me at all.

Interesting I always look for black when looking them over but those 4+ turn ones have gone from black to grey. Ones I have shot are more in the category of skillet bucks but they were all tasty. The doe's are almost always good table fair, but they are like pronghorn shot in warm weather they need to be iced down pronto.

Beautiful critters. Years ago we used to stop at the Natural Bridge Zoo for a break on our way to Grandma's house. They had blackbuck in the open area with the goats. They wanted nothing to do with the tourists, unlike the goats who'd climb on your head if they thought you had some of that goat chow they sold.
What fresh Hell is this?

Thats funny. On the 16000 acre ranch I used to guide on we had them free range.
Gals running the show and cooking for some reason ran low on food, I think we had an ice storm IIRC and folks there longer than expected.
Anyway we were sent out one night to bring back a sheep so they could cook. Corsican or mouflon. Ride around in the cold and such for hours looking for the sheep, never found em, smacked a BB doe in the head with 22 mag... hauled it back and thought we were both fired on the spot.
These gals could cook anything. For some reason that black buck tasted more like bell peppers they had drowned it in than anything else.
My only other one was my 23 inch old one and lets just say there is no need in me ever shooting another BB. Especially when the creation offers Axis...Moose... Dall... Whitetails etc....

Both of the ones I shot tasted fine. I thought they were better than whitetail but not in the oryx/axis league

I was glassing a couple of nice blackbuck rams yesterday in the TX hill country. They both looked like they'll be good shooters in December or January when they have a really dark coat. I love watching the rams with their harem. The other year I walked up on two rams fighting. I bet I got within 30 yards of them.
The ewes are good eating, it's just hard to find one that isn't bred. They breed year round, with their peak in March. I think their meat is like a cross between beef and venison.

Right you are! Best dark coats for mounting are in winter...and yes, its REALLY hard to find a doe that isn't bred...all it seems that they do is fight and breed . Their meat is good, but can be chewy. As I probably mentioned it does however make our favorite hamburgers...which we just had for dinner tonight!

Do they all go from tan to black depending on the time of year? Pretty much...but another variable is sexual dominance. A smaller horned male may very well be coal black if hes a bad ass and fights for the girls, while a truly big one may maintain a lighter color if hes not the sexually dominant one. All tolled the winter months is when you'll see the darkest.....usually.

I hunted one on my lease in the TX hill country years ago. I got out just as the sun was rising and found the herd out in a hayfield at about 350- 375 yards. I found a nice gun rest at the edge of the field while I contemplated a way to try to get a little closer. About that time they spooked and ran straight towards me. I shot the ram with a .257 WBY at under 50 yards.

Following the logic, if the males are bucks, then the females would be does, I suppose.
OTOH, if the males are technically rams, then the females would be ewes?
I'm no biologist, but everyone I know calls the males bucks, and the females does.

Anybody care to recommend a Texas Blackbuck hunt? Not interested in a "canned hunt" and if I can add hogs and predators, even better!

Anybody care to recommend a Texas Blackbuck hunt? Not interested in a "canned hunt" and if I can add hogs and predators, even better!
X-VERMINATOR Pope Brothers I would second that. PBGSO has a great reputation. Another good one is Mike Savoy of Can-Tex Wildlife... Been with both of those outfitters. Both do a great job. Good to get further confirmation. Thanks!

Thanks fellas!

Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

La Pampa Arg. Last time I looked he was #1 for SA. That is absolutely unworldly insane. Congrats.

Pretty much...but another variable is sexual dominance. A smaller horned male may very well be coal black if hes a bad ass and fights for the girls, while a truly big one may maintain a lighter color if hes not the sexually dominant one.
All tolled the winter months is when you'll see the darkest.....usually.
Yep. Mine wasn't that tall at only 17", but as you can see from his coat and the base of his horns, he was a badass. He was kicking the crap out of a 21" buck when we found him. I honestly thought he was the bigger one due to coat color and how badly he was whooping up on the other buck. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/108234.jpg)

Gentlemen, those are all some sweet looking trophies.
What a beautiful animal.

I was thinking 🤔 quite different! 🥺
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

X-VERMINATOR Stary Night Ranch in London Texas. They have hogs as well. Not sure what you mean by canned hunt but PM me if you want more details. They hunt over feeders and it's not a very large ranch. Great people, food and fun hunt.
