Gemsbok

Gemsbok hunting in Texas offers an exciting adventure. Native to the arid Kalahari and Namib regions of southern Africa, gemsbok are built to withstand extreme heat and drought, thriving in vast, sparsely vegetated deserts where water is scarce. Their long, straight horns and bold black-and-white facial markings make them one of the most recognizable antelope species, while their tough desert adaptations—such as efficient water conservation and heat tolerance—make them strong, resilient game animals. In Texas, they thrive on open grasslands and in light brush. Their strong herding behavior and ability to cover ground quickly make gemsbok a rewarding species to pursue, offering hunters a taste of African-style hunting right in the Lone Star State.
