Pedestal mount along with Mrs Blacktailer's. Never measured him straight tape, he scored over 76 inches SCI. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/yC80dqf.jpg) Wow, just wow! I've had a strong hankerin' to run a 77gr LRX via .22 Creed through one for awhile now. This winter might just be, the winter....! X-VERMINATOR

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.

Are the males called “rams”? I thought they were bucks (hence the name)

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!

X-VERMINATOR Pope Brothers I would second that. PBGSO has a great reputation. Another good one is Mike Savoy of Can-Tex Wildlife...

La Pampa Arg. Last time I looked he was #1 for SA. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/v6hZuqH.jpg) 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.
