Addax are among the most unusual exotic antelope species hunters can pursue in Texas. Their pale coloring, long spiral horns and desert-adapted appearance immediately set them apart from more familiar game animals.
At Little Paint Creek Ranch near Junction, Texas, hunters have the opportunity to pursue Addax across more than 15,000 acres in the Texas Hill Country while enjoying a complete multi-day ranch experience.
What Makes the Addax Unique?
Native to the desert regions of North Africa, Addax are built to survive in hot, dry environments. Their light-colored coats help reflect heat, while their broad hooves are adapted for traveling across loose desert terrain.
Mature animals are especially recognizable by their long, twisting horns, which can create an impressive silhouette from a distance.
For hunters interested in exotic antelope, the Addax offers something visually and physically different from Blackbuck, Gemsbok, Nilgai and other species commonly associated with Texas ranch hunting.
How Texas Addax Hunts Are Conducted
Hunting conditions can vary from day to day, which is why Little Paint Creek Ranch offers several ways to pursue Addax.
Depending on animal movement, weather and terrain, hunts may take place from blinds, by spot and stalk or safari style.
Both rifle and bow hunters are welcome.
With more than 15,000 acres to cover, hunters may spend time glassing open country, moving through different parts of the ranch and watching for animals as conditions change.

Non-hunting guests are welcome for $150 per day.
