Monty,
If you want to bow hunt them, there are 3 ranches I would recommend. The first is TheWildlifeRanch.com, second is
keithjohnsoutdoors.com , the third is doublelranch.net. The last one has the largest of mass of any of the Blackbucks on any of the ranches I have hunted at yet. I talked with the owner yesterday about the mass of his bucks and he told me it has to do with the minerals in the ground on his ranch. He has had alot of other ranches want to breed and grow their animals on his ranch just for the mass. Bases like beer bottles, without a doubt. Check them all out on the net and good luck. If you do happen to do that this winter, hollar at me and I would be glad to join you. Gary Here's mine from last yr. He was not as full colored as I would have liked, but with the bow, I was extremely happy.

They are a beautiful animal! Yours is about as light in coloration as I've seen. I was hunting in a big tower blind out northwest of San Antonio one time on a ranch that bordered a high fence operation. I watched a monster blackbuck one afternoon over the fence that was absolutely beautiful and so dark that you would never know he and your buck are the same species!!!

Yeah, he was just starting to turn colors. Had small black diamonds running up his legs and starting to get the black mask going. A couple of more yrs and he would have been full colored, but.....................he is a bow trophy to me right now. I have talked to several guys that say they are somewhat hard to get with a bow as they stay pretty much to open country.
