An African icon on Texas soil. One of the most unique hunts we offer.

Blue wildebeest are native to the plains of southern and eastern Africa and are one of the more unusual species you’ll find on a Texas hunting ranch. They’re heavy, muscular animals with curved horns and a distinctive profile that’s unmistakable. Having them on the property adds a dimension most ranches can’t offer.

Quick Facts

Origin: Southern and Eastern Africa

Why Hunt Blue Wildebeest at Herd Hunting?

Wildebeest are a conversation starter. Most Texas hunters have never had the opportunity to take one, and the experience is genuinely different from anything else on the ranch. If you’ve worked through your list and want something new, this is it.
