The Scimitar Horned Oryx, native to North Africa, is a beautiful antelope characterized by its long, backward-curving horns that resemble scimitars. Its light-colored coat with a red-brown chest and face make it easily distinguishable.
Although once widespread across North Africa, the Scimitar Horned Oryx is now extinct in the wild. However, they have been introduced and thrive on game ranches in Texas, where hunting opportunities exist.
The revenue from hunting operations on ranches, especially in Texas, has contributed significantly to conservation efforts, including plans for reintroducing the species back into its native habitat. The ranches also ensure sustainable populations.
In their natural environment, Scimitar Horned Oryx preferred arid grasslands and deserts. On hunting ranches, they often inhabit open grasslands.

Absolutely! Oryx meat is lean and flavorful, making it a favorite among hunters and gourmet cooks.
Given their preference for open areas, long-range shooting might be necessary. Spotting them from elevated positions and then stalking closer is a common approach.
