Kudu Hunt in Texas

Best Kudu Hunts in Texas

Hunting kudu at Cotton Mesa Trophy Whitetail Ranch in Texas is a rare treat that a select few get to enjoy. Ideal for mounting due to their distinctive spiraling horns that can reach up to 5 feet, taking down a trophy bull is a feat to be remembered for years to come. The best kudu hunts are at dawn and dusk, when kudus are on the move and at their most active. With their speed, agility, and high jumping capabilities, this prey presents a rare challenge. Hunting alongside the moving herd on UTV 4-wheel over rough terrain drives makes for a truly engaging and exciting hunt. Kudus seek shade and rest during the middle of the day, allowing a little rest and relaxation for you back in the comfort of the Cotton Mesa lodge. Have a gourmet lunch, toss some horseshoes or cornhole, or even shoot some pool. Either way, you’re just resting up before the next round of seeking your trophy kudu bull. 

After a kudu hunting adventure unlike any other, you’ll leave Cotton Mesa with memories to last a lifetime and the trophy mount to prove it. Cotton Mesa offers a unique version of the timeless tradition of hunting, offering exotic African species right here in the heart of America. From the pursuit of the kudu’s majestic horns to the stealthy hunt of an eland, you’ll take down exotic trophies and become part of our cherished legacy at Cotton Mesa.

Texas Kudu Hunting Information

Known as the “Gray ghost” of Africa, the kudu is an impressive antelope specimen. Their impressive spiraling horns reach up to 5 feet in length and are found on both males and females. Their large ears are expressive and draw attention to their face which bears striking markings. You’ll recognize kudu in the wild based on the distinctive white stripes along their flanks which stand out against the gray-brown or red-brown hue of their bodies. Most kudus have between four and twelve stripes on their torso and weigh between 400 and 600 pounds. 

In their home countries of Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, kudus are most commonly found in areas of dense vegetation cover near open grazing lands. They consistently move back and forth from cover to grazing areas. Kudus thrive in various habitats including woodlands, savannahs, and bushlands, making them uniquely suited for the Texas landscape. Kudus prefer leaves, shoots, fruits, flowers, and brush and they use their long tongues to feed on their favorite vegetation. Used to dry spells in their African habitats, they supplement their diet with grasses as needed. Kudu can be solitary animals but more often congregate in groups near water and food sources. During mating season, large breeding populations roam the Cotton Mesa habitat, making for an incredible sight and an even more incredible hunting opportunity. As one of the best exotic animal summer hunts in Texas, these majestic animals offer a thrilling hunting expedition at Cotton Mesa Ranch in Texas!
