When you're looking for something truly special to add to your trophy room, few opportunities compare to hunting Dama Gazelle with Angry Goat Outfitters in West Texas. These aren't your typical whitetails or even your standard exotics – we're talking about one of the rarest trophy animals you can legally harvest in North America. Our experienced guides know exactly where to find these elegant animals on our private ranch properties, and with only one hunter per trip, you get the personalized attention that makes all the difference between a good hunt and a great one.
This isn't a cattle drive operation where you're rushed through the motions. From the moment you arrive at our West Texas property, you'll work one-on-one with guides who've been tracking these animals for years. The hunt takes place on exclusive private ranches where these gazelles have room to roam and express their natural behaviors, making for a more challenging and rewarding experience. You'll start early, glassing the open terrain and water sources where these animals prefer to feed and drink. The landscape here is perfect for spot-and-stalk hunting, with rolling hills, scattered mesquite, and enough open country to really test your skills. Your guide will help you judge trophy quality and get within range, but the shot placement and timing are all yours. We provide transportation around the property, but be ready for some walking once we locate your target animal.
West Texas terrain is ideal for hunting these graceful animals, but it requires a different approach than what you might use for deer or elk. The rolling hills and sparse cover mean you'll be doing a lot of glassing from elevated positions, especially during the cooler parts of the day when gazelles are most active. Your guide will position you where prevailing winds work in your favor, since these animals have exceptional senses and will pick up human scent from impressive distances. The key is patience and shot preparation – Dama Gazelles don't offer the same broadside opportunities as some game animals, so you'll need to be comfortable with various shooting angles. Bring quality optics if you have them, though we can provide backup equipment. The shots here typically range from 100 to 300 yards, depending on terrain and animal behavior, so practice with your rifle at those distances before you arrive. Most hunters prefer flat-shooting calibers like .270 Winchester or .30-06, but anything suitable for deer-sized game will work fine with proper shot placement.
Dama Gazelles are hands-down one of the most elegant trophies you'll ever have the chance to harvest. These animals typically weigh between 90-140 pounds, with males carrying the impressive curved horns that make them such prized trophies. What really sets them apart is their build – long, graceful necks, lean but muscular bodies, and those distinctive horns that can reach 14-16 inches on a mature buck. They're incredibly alert and quick to react, which makes them a genuine challenge even for experienced hunters. Unlike some exotic species that can seem almost domesticated, Dama Gazelles retain strong wild instincts and will test every bit of your hunting skills. The best time to hunt them is during cooler months when they're more active throughout the day, though we run successful hunts year-round in Texas. What hunters love most about these animals is the combination of their rarity, beauty, and the fact that they provide a legitimate hunting challenge. The meat is excellent too – lean and flavorful, similar to antelope but with its own unique taste. These animals are extremely limited in availability, which is why booking early is essential if you want this trophy on your wall.
