Built over years. Not bought for a season.
Mature Texas whitetail, in numbers.
The whitetail on Crown Point are the product of a long-running management program: age structure, genetics, nutrition, and low hunting pressure. A guest sitting a blind here will see numerous trophy-class bucks in a sit — not one, if he’s lucky.
The average 4–6 year old buck taken off the ranch grosses over 200″ B&C, and whitetail scoring over 300″ are taken every year. Whatever part of the country you hunt, the sheer number of big deer on this property is what people remember.
The proof is in the pictures.
A sample of what’s come off the ranch recently — monster whitetail alongside trophy blackbuck and scimitar oryx. Every one of these animals reached full maturity on Crown Point ground before it was taken.
Fourteen established exotic herds.
Exotics are non-native, so Texas puts no season on them — they’re on the ranch and huntable 365 days a year. Every species below is an established herd on the property. Several of them — the scimitar oryx and addax among them — are all but gone in the wild; ranches like Crown Point are where the herds survive.
| Species | Origin | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Whitetail Deer | Native — Texas | Flagship program. Mature bucks averaging 200″+ gross B&C; 300″-class deer taken annually. |
| Red Stag | Europe | The biggest-bodied deer on the ranch, unmistakable in the rut. |
| Axis Deer | India | Widely considered the best table fare on any Texas ranch. |
| Fallow Deer | Europe / Asia Minor | Palmated antlers and coats from chocolate to white. |
| Aoudad Sheep | North Africa | As challenging a stalk as the ranch offers. |
| Blackbuck Antelope | India | Fast, sharp-eyed, and a striking spiral-horned trophy. |
| Scimitar-Horned Oryx | Sahara, North Africa | Extinct in the wild for decades — Texas ranch herds are where the species lives on. |
| Arabian Oryx | Arabian Peninsula | The white desert antelope brought back from the brink; a rare sight on any ranch. |
| Addax | Sahara, North Africa | Critically endangered in the wild; an established herd here. |
| Sable Antelope | Southern Africa | Jet-black coat and scythe horns — a bucket-list animal on any continent. |
| Roan Antelope | Africa | One of Africa’s largest antelope, and one of the rarest to find on a Texas ranch. |
| Waterbuck | Sub-Saharan Africa | Big, shaggy, and carrying sweeping ridged horns. |
| Impala | Southern & East Africa | The classic African plains antelope — quick, alert, and striking. |
| Springbok | Southern Africa | South Africa’s national animal, small and blistering fast. |
| Zebra | Africa | The most distinctive animal on the property, and proof of how established the exotic program is. |

A quick pass through the herds — whitetail and exotics, alive and moving on Crown Point country.
Low pressure is the whole point.
Because Crown Point isn’t open to the public, harvest is limited and selective. Animals reach full maturity here. Feed, water, and habitat run year-round, and the herds are watched closely enough that the ranch knows what’s on the ground and what it will look like in three years.
