Antelope Hunting
Antelope is a term referring to many even-toed ungulate species found all over the world in places such as Africa, Asia, and North America. Many species of antelope have been imported to other parts of the world, especially the United States, for exotic game hunting. Texas in particular has high numbers of gaming ranches, as well as habitat and climate that are very hospitable to African plains antelope species. As such, wild populations of Blackbuck Antelope and Gemsbok have established in Texas, though they are not native to the area. North America pronghorn antelope, or simply known as antelope, as it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World. There are many antelop hunting trips available in United States, as well as the International Antelope hunting destinations. Target your Antelope Hunting Destination
Size and shape of the antelop horns varies immensely. Those of the duikers and dwarf antelopes tend to be simple "spikes", but differ in the angle to the head from backward curved and backward pointing to straight and upright. Other groups have twisted, spiral (e.g. Greater Kudu), "recurved" (e.g. the reedbucks), lyrate (e.g. impala), or long, curved (e.g. the oryxes) horns. Horns are not shed and are not made of bone, which distinguishes them from antlers. The mounted trophy Antelope may make the perfect addition to your trophy room as a treasured memento of your Antelope hunting adventure. |
