Greg had hunted all over the United States and Africa and the one thing missing was a blackbuck.  So he traveled from Mississippi to the Wild Rocking P in Mills County Texas for a 3-day stalking adventure.  He brought along his new Bergera B-14 heavy barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, loaded with his own custom ammunition.  Before the hunt, we checked zero at the range, 100-meters, striking a 6-inch steel plate, he confidently struck the center.  We spent that afternoon scouting.

The next day, we spent the entire day stalking, coming close a couple of times, but not quite close enough during a 5-mile hike.  The following day, Greg found his blackbuck closer in to the ranch, early in the morning.

Greg is a patient and skilled hunter, preferring a ground hunt, stalking to sitting in a blind.  He brought his own classic Case skinner knife to dress out his harvest, carefully separating and preserving the hide to make a vest for his wife.  The European mount turned out incredible.

Greg is a member of the Safari Club International, his harvest measured 52 and 6/8 inches putting it solidly into the SCI trophy class.

In his review of the ranch Greg said, "From my arrival handshake to my departure handshake, I felt nothing but true Texas hospitality at the Wild Rocking P Ranch...The Wild Rocking P Ranch is a very reputable, professional operation. I would not hesitate to hunt this venue again."  You can read all of his review and see pictures on Google Maps.  

Bethany wanted to give her husband Tyler a gift to remember, a trophy Blackbuck hunt.  She also got to share in the experience.  Driving from Tennessee to Texas, they saw the Fort Worth stockyards, family in Temple and revisited Fort Cavazos, formerly Hood, where Tyler served in the Army.  

Once they arrived at the Wild Rocking P, we spent time exploring what kind of adventure they wanted.  Tyler wanted a stalking hunt.  Blackbuck are plains animals with exceptional eyesight, extremely flighty making them challenging to stalk.  Tyler proved to be patient and capable hunter, turned out Bethany was also very stealthy.  On their final day Tyler harvested a 50 3/8-inch Blackbuck, Bethany was there to share in the joy.

Sam wanted to give his bride of 8-years a memorable hunting experience.  Larna had been raised hunting with her father who passed this year, Sam wanted something special.  

When they arrived at the ranch, during their orientation interview, Larna shared she had never done a spot and stalk hunt before and was excited to try it.  Turns out the Pre-K teacher and mother to 3 is a natural.  She put three stalks on Blackbuck, which are not easy to stalk. On her first stalk she crawled 180 yards across rough terrain, through the tall grass and got within 30-yards. Her guide said it felt like 300 yards.

Two more stalks, which involved crawling and she harvested a beautiful Blackbuck.  Wanting the full experience, she learned how to dress and cape her trophy.

While stalking her game, Larna and Sam were treated to a side show of trophy white-tailed deer and turkey.

The Wild Rocking P is an absolutely stunning ranch. It has a beautiful variety of vegetation and landscape. The scenery will take your breath away, but not quite before the overwhelming kindness and care you will receive from the owner. Whether you are hunting, or just out to enjoy some nature it is most definitely a one of a kind experience!

Mike Isaacks harvested a 56 1/8 inch SCI scored Blackbuck on January 6.  Mike is a patient and skilled hunter. While there were many, this was one of three that he carefully looked over during two previous outings and the one he settled his sights on to harvest.

According to the Safari Club International, a Blackbuck scoring 40 inches is trophy grade.
