Trophy Ridge Ranch delivers what serious hunters crave – challenging terrain, smart game, and the kind of hunt that tests your skills. This isn't your typical exotic ranch experience where animals practically walk up to your blind. Mouflon sheep here have attitude, and they'll make you work for every shot. With ATX Outfitters backing your hunt, you get guides who know these animals inside and out, plus full support from field dressing to trophy photos. It's exactly what Texas exotic hunting should be – tough, rewarding, and backed by people who live for this stuff.
Your Mouflon hunt starts early with coffee and strategy. These sheep move with the weather and terrain, so your guide will glass different areas depending on wind direction and feeding patterns. Trophy Ridge Ranch spans rugged country with deep draws, rocky outcrops, and scattered oak mottes – perfect habitat for Mouflon to disappear fast when they catch your scent. You'll likely cover serious ground, sometimes hiking a mile or more to get into position for a good stalk. The $250 daily guide fee gets you someone who reads these animals like a book and won't quit until you have your shot. Lodging runs $100 per person if you want to stay on property, though many hunters prefer the convenience after a long day tracking sheep through Texas hill country.
Mouflon hunting demands patience and solid shooting skills. These sheep have exceptional eyesight and hearing, so your approach needs to be calculated. Your guide will use terrain features like ridgelines and creek beds to mask movement, keeping you downwind whenever possible. Shot distances typically range from 100 to 300 yards, depending on the stalk setup. Bring your own rifle in .270 Winchester or larger – Mouflon are tough animals that require good bullet placement. The rocky terrain can be hard on boots, so wear something with ankle support and good tread. Trophy Ridge Ranch terrain varies from open grassland to thick brush, meaning you need to be ready for both long shots across valleys and quick opportunities in timber. Weather changes fast out here, so pack layers and rain gear even if the forecast looks clear.
Mouflon sheep bring European hunting tradition to Texas hill country, and they're arguably one of the smartest exotics you'll chase. These animals typically weigh 80-120 pounds for ewes and 100-180 pounds for mature rams, with the big boys sporting impressive curved horns that make trophy hunters weak in the knees. Rams establish dominance through head-butting contests that echo across canyons during rutting season from October through December, making fall hunts particularly exciting when they're less cautious. Mouflon have reddish-brown coats with distinctive white rumps that flash when they bolt – and trust me, they can disappear into rocky terrain faster than you'd believe possible. Their feeding pattern centers around dawn and dusk, with midday spent bedded in shade or on ridges where they can spot danger. What makes Mouflon special is their wariness combined with curiosity – they'll circle back to investigate threats, giving patient hunters second chances if the first stalk falls apart. Trophy fees hit $4,500 per animal, reflecting both the challenge and the quality of rams available on Trophy Ridge Ranch.
