In Texas, the Grant’s Zebra is the most common subspecies of zebra we hunt and if you’re looking for a big, trophy zebra stallion, I’ve got them! The Grants zebra is a very beautiful zebra and they make a beautiful mount for the wall or a beautiful rug. Texas has a healthy population of zebra and every year we have some great zebra stallions available. Since there’s no closed season in Texas for zebra you can find good trophies 12 months out of the year.

Most of my zebra hunting is done by a combination of safari style hunting and spot and stalk hunting, but I will also hunt out of blinds as necessary.

Zebra Hunting Texas – Who is this hunt for:

Zebra are considered an “exotic” in Texas and there’s no closed season on hunting exotics in Texas. Because there’s no closed season on exotics in Texas we have great hunts 12 months out of the year.

Depending on your experience level, we can either shoot using shooting sticks or from a blind. Experienced hunters will enjoy the thrill shooting off of shooting sticks after tracking your kudu cross country. For hunters with less experience, or hunters who are not comfortable walking longer distances across rocky terrain, we can post up in a blind. We will wait there for the kudu to come to us and take a shot from a much more controlled environment. With a wide variety of hunting methods, I can accommodate a wide range of hunters.

Zebra Hunting Texas:

Most of my zebra hunting is done with a combination of safari-style hunting and spot and stalk. We drive around until we locate a nice zebra stallion, and then try and stalk into position for a shot. For those that aren’t as able to spot and stalk I’ll also hunt out of blinds overlooking feeders or a natural food source.

A typical day hunting zebra begins before daylight with a quick easy breakfast of coffee, fruit, pastries and breakfast bars. After breakfast, we load up in my Jeep and head out looking for a big zebra stallion. I’m a big fan of letting my hunters look over numerous zebra stallions so they can get a good idea of which one they would like to go after.

Zebra are active most of the day, but we typically head back to the lodge for a hearty brunch/lunch mid-day. Early in the afternoon, we’re back in the Jeep looking for more zebra until we find the trophy stallion you’re after. If we’re hunting out of a blind, we head to the blind early in the afternoon in time to let everything settle down for the afternoon hunt. If we’re trying to spot/stalk zebra, once we locate the zebra stallion you’re after, we grab the shooting sticks and the stalk begins. After a full day of chasing zebra, we head back to the lodge for a great dinner hot off the grill and the chance to re-live the day’s events before heading to bed to do it all again the next day.

Zebra Hunting Texas Regions:

Zebra can be found in the Texas Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, and South Texas, but the majority of my Zebra hunting occurs in the Hill Country, in the Kerrville and Fredericksburg areas. If you are flying in, San Antonio International Airport is the closest major airport and from there it’s typically about a 2-hour drive to any of my ranches.

Zebra are beautiful animals and a great hunt for the experienced, as well as novice hunters. Don’t wait too long, my Zebra Hunts in Texas fill up quickly and you should reserve your spot as soon as possible.
