Wildebeest are bold, brawny, and built for wide-open country. Native to Africa’s savannas but thriving in the brush of Texas, these animals are known for their broad shoulders, curved horns, and unpredictable behavior. Don’t let their awkward gait fool you, wildebeest are fast, alert, and tough to bring down. For hunters looking for something a little different — part brute, part challenge, and all adrenaline — the wildebeest delivers a hunt you won’t forget and a trophy that stands out.
