Inside the Hunt
This hunt runs on private, managed ranch land where the Corsican population is healthy and the shots are ethical. You'll be hunting solo with Tye, so there's no rushing or competing for the best opportunities – it's your hunt, your pace. The ranch management here is top-notch, meaning you're looking at quality rams with good horn development. Days start early with glassing sessions to locate herds, then it's all about reading the wind and terrain to get within range. The $300 reservation fee locks in your dates and goes toward your final booking cost. Tye's been guiding these hunts for years, and he knows how to position hunters for success while keeping safety as the top priority. You'll want to bring your A-game because these rams don't give you second chances on poor shots.
Tracking Tips & Terrain
Stonewall Ranch offers varied terrain that plays to the Corsican ram's natural behavior – rolling hills, oak motts, and open grassland where they like to feed. Your best bet is glassing from elevated positions at first light, looking for movement in the draws and creek bottoms. These rams have keen eyesight, so quality optics are essential. Bring a solid rifle you're comfortable shooting out to 300 yards, because the terrain often dictates longer shots. Wind direction is critical here – Texas winds can be tricky, and rams will bust you in a heartbeat if they catch your scent. Tye knows the ranch's wind patterns and will position you accordingly. The hunt involves a fair amount of spot-and-stalk hunting, so comfortable boots and layered clothing are must-haves. Field prep is included in your package, so Tye will take care of your ram once it's down, giving you more time to focus on the hunt itself.
Target Game Breakdown
Corsican rams are the crown jewel of Texas exotic hunting, and for good reason. These Mediterranean sheep can weigh up to 200 pounds and sport impressive curved horns that make for stunning trophy mounts. Originally from the island of Corsica, they've adapted perfectly to Texas ranch conditions and developed into one of the most challenging exotic hunts available. Rams are most active during cooler parts of the day – early morning and late afternoon – when they move between bedding and feeding areas. Their hearing and eyesight are exceptional, developed from generations of avoiding predators on rocky Mediterranean cliffs. What makes hunting them so rewarding is their unpredictable nature; they might feed peacefully for an hour, then suddenly bolt for no apparent reason. The best hunting typically runs from October through March when temperatures are cooler and rams are more active during daylight hours. Trophy rams usually have horns that curl back toward their ears, and a mature ram's horn spread can reach 25-30 inches. The meat is lean and flavorful – many hunters say it's some of the best wild game they've ever tasted.
